Looking at my own results this doesn't seem to have caused obvious
explosions in my test lab for whatever reason, and the KUnit tests that
run as part of the -next merge didn't notice anything here.

It does look like this will have overlapped with the kselftest issues
which have been messing up a bunch of the CI systems in ways that fell
between the cracks of build and runtime testing:

   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20260320-selftests-fixes-v1-0-79144f76be01@xxxxxxxx/T/#mecec7793b0e4c8f316a32600f48835479cf056f3

which severely impacted the coverage from several of the CI systems and
took an unfortunately long time to get addressed as a result - runtime
people were seeing it as a build or infra issue, but build people
weren't noticing since anyone specifically build testing the selftests
would've set things up so they wouldn't have seen the issue.
