So are lots of patches tht don't go in because they are too ugly or too
invasive or two special case for mainstream.

There are two discussions here

- is it worth Red Hat doing - that's up to Red Hat's business managers

- is it worth merging into the kernel - that's not

The capability bit is small and clean the rest of it is beginning to look
far too ugly for upstream right now. Not to say it might not end up small
and clean in the end.
