Hey,

In general the kernel patch should be merged first, because userspace cannot rely on the behavior until the next -rc1 that integrates it.
However, in order to merge the kernel patch, a userspace proof of concept for validation is needed first. Since you're close to merging,
I would say the userspace requirement is satisfied. It's safe to send the kernel patch. :)
