Hah. This was something I had initially done doifferently.

But then looked at linux-next, where Thomas had done what appeared to
be a smarter resolution than the straightforward one:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wg8+BER4VyFKG3rnPi2gXxbf-jbHS=EU+xhFqGVQfbutw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

and I picked that "smarter" one.  That seems to have been a mistake.

Apparently nobody actually runs linux-next. I knew it didn't get a lot
of testing, but apparently it's more like "no testing at all" than
"not a lot".

Oh well.
