Hi Matthew,

Very sorry for your time! The main reasons I use a separate patch since a, Intel 0day asking me to credit their are founding, and I don't know how to give a clearly/elegant explanation for a non-exist regression in a fixed patch. b, this regression is kindly pretty tricky. Maybe it's better saying thanks in version change log of cover-letter?

Anyway, Thanks a lot for your review!

Alex
