No, I meant 5.12, even if I still think this could go into 5.11.

Generally new features should brew a bit in linux-next. It's mostly bots
testing linux-next, and they wouldn't be able to catch anything beyond
potential build issues as this feature is off by default anyway. So I
don't think that needs to be an issue in this case.

But we don't have deadlines and if, say, for one reason or another Greg
doesn't have time to review this in the next couple of weeks, we'll just
hold it off.
