The patch is in linux-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=152194fe9c3f03232b9c0d0264793a7fa4af82f8
.
Adding Dmitry to clarify when he plans to merge this.

Apart from kernel, there should also be coordination between libraries.
I'm not sure how this has been done in the past.
