The patch stewed in a kbuild-targetted thread since the morning after -rc1,
Nick has recently requested that it should go through x86 maintainers
instead.  I've sent it there, lemme ping them, as the regression is severe
and 4.9-final is close.

Apologies if I'm doing something wrong, I'm not a real kernel dev and merely
was the person who came here looking for a fix, saw Nick's instructions
and did the legwork implementing them.

Last version (rewritten description) is at:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9439501/
(needs s/oeter/peter/ for a typo in Peter Wu's address)
