I'd love to look into it, but I can't seem to apply these patches to
anything.
By virtue of not actually having the patches, I had to resort to b4, and
I think the incantation is something like:
b4 shazam cover.1772811429.git.d@xxxxxxxxxxxx
but it doesn't want to apply to anything I have at hand. Specifically, I
tried Linus' tree and tip, which is most of what I have at hand.
