I am not sure if it worth the extra efforts where I have to retest it on all
architectures, and the patch is really simple, but I can certainly do that if
you insist.

I have just confirmed the patch [1] also applied correctly to the latest
mainline, so it might be the best time just for Linus to merge it directly so it
does not introduce build errors later on?
