This now fails like this:

fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c: In function 'bch2_time_stats_init_no_pcpu':
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:190:23: error: assignment from pointer to non-enclosed address space
  190 |         stats->buffer = (struct time_stat_buffer __rcu *) TIME_STATS_NONPCPU;
      |                       ^
fs/bcachefs/time_stats.c:190:23: note: expected '__seg_gs struct time_stat_buffer *' but pointer is of type 'struct time_stat_buffer *'

I have now )instead of the above) applied the following merge fix patch (which should be able to be applied to the bcachefs tree directly):
