I am with you here. I want to add that the proper fix should be
developed without thinking too much about stable in the first place.
*When* we have a proper working fix, then we can think about making it
"more" suitable for backporting. Yet, it may also be a result that older
kernels need a different solution. Or have no solution at all, in case
they can't do atomic_transfers and this is needed.

D'accord?
