Unless the patch set contains a selftest that exercises all the
interesting cases here, NAK.  To be clear, there needs to be a test
that passes on an unmodified kernel and still passes on a patched
kernel.  And that test case needs to *fail* if, for example, you force
"emulated" to either true or false rather than reading out the actual
value.
