No hurry, and I don't care deeply when this goes in. It looks safe and harmless, so any time as far as I'm concerned - whatever is most convenient for people.
This is more of a "let's protect against any future issues" than anything critical right now.
And I suspect it just means that next time somebody screws up rdrand, they'll screw it up to be a simple counter instead of just returning all-ones, and we'll miss it anyway ;)
