My guess would be that quite a few folks use 9p for in-VM kernel
testing. Real question is how many actually update their work tree
before -rc1 or even -rc2, given the anticipated merge window code
instability.. so maybe there's no extreme urgency?

From netdev's perspective, FWIW, it'd be great if the fix reached
Linux before Thursday, which is when we will forward our tree again.
