Yeah, apologies for that. We have been running this patch for a few
months now, though it was only a few people. When Andy and Dennis were
saying it was giving them some headaches I run it under KASAN and really
checked each and every step, without finding why it was not good for
them.

Thanks a lot. If you don't feel confident enough to include it in 4.10,
I wouldn't mind if you prefer postponing it for 4.11 or a later 4.10-rc
(depending how it is easier for you).

Cheers,
