I'm very sorry.
As Torvalds has merged 93431e0607e5 and many of you devs (including big maintainers like David Miller) just applied this stuff, I assumed that's OK.
And now I've rolled out tens of patches via shell loop... *sigh*
As this is the third (I think) change request like this, I assume this rule applies to all subsystems – right?
Best, AK
