Can we defer removal of this handler for "one release cycle" (and instead emit a line
saying that "this parameter will be replaced by ..." during that cycle) ? I welcome
PATCH 1/3, but kernel testing projects (e.g. syzbot) needs to update their settings
between PATCH 1/3 was merged into linux.git and PATCH 3/3 is merged into linux.git .

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CACT4Y+YE-j5ncjTGN6UhngfCNRgVo-QDZ3VCBGACdbs9-v+axQ@mail.gmail.com says
"Announcing unmerged changes is too early (as this patch showed). And once it's in linux-next it's already too late.."
