I'm happy to take this but if it goes via my tree whilst the
other changes take a different path you are going to slow things
down considerably (a kernel cycle for this change to be in the
upstream of where the fix gets applied). So I would bundle
it up in a single patch set with the more major changes.

If you still want me to take it let me know, but if it
might go via another route then

Thanks,
