Thank you very much Boris. Apologies if I implied so but I really did not expect
nor want this to make it into the upcoming merge window. Especially after learning
about Linus's comment [1] about fixes for long-standing issues not being appropriate
late in the cycle (with v5 already considered late).

Considering the changes in locking I do instead hope that this work could percolate
on x86/cache for a while before moving further. To support this I hope to get few
more acks by the time x86/cache can accept new changes. I should have made this clear.
