That's my only worry.
I'd suggest we queue this but not send it to Linus now. Instead, let it cook in linux-next for the whole 6.5 release cycle so that it can get at least *some* testing.
Because if we send it now and something else obscure breaks in a weird way in his tree, then we'll have to scramble to fix that too and it'll be one helluva mess.
