SubjectRe: [PATCH net-next v4 0/9] Introduce support to lazy initialize mostly static keys

> v3) added patch "static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called":
> Patch "x86/jump_label: expect default_nop if static_key gets enabled
> on boot-up" relaxes the checks for using static_key primitives before
> jump_label_init. So tighten them first.
> v4) Update changelog on the patch "static_key: WARN on usage before
> jump_label_init was called"

Although I was very skeptical about these changes when you first posted
them, I am quite happy with this series now.

Thanks for working on this and not giving up :-)

Series applied, thanks a lot!
