Hmm, patch 05/14 depends on the existence of the new word. That's a non-issue
if you're planning on taking this for 5.11. If it's destined for 5.12, maybe
get an ack from Paolo on patch 05 and take both through tip? I can drop them
from this series when I send v3. In hindsight, I should have split these two
patches into a separate mini-series from the get-go.

Thanks!
