I'm OK with the original workaround - super simple and fixes the issue.
I don't know if Borislav intends to upstream this, so I'll grab a copy
also.

Nobody has commented on Uros's more recent alteration to genksyms
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAFULd4aLMF_2AbUAvpYw+o1qo6U-Ya_+Ewy-wW17g-r-MBF9_g@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)?

Uros, please persist with that approach and hopefully we'll have a
patch which removes the temporary workaround.
