hm, that must have taken quite some time to do on your desktop, right?

FYI, there's no mandatory need to go through that buerocratic testing
hassle with patches submitted to -tip - especially with small patches
that look obvious and have a high chance of being right. We do non-stop
allyes/allno/allmod+randconfig 64-bit/32-bit build and boot testing for
every single patch added to the repository.

Building, booting and testing it in the environment where you expect it
to be used primarily should be more than enough.
