The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
After completing the upstream patch, Michal, Jerome and myself had a discussion about how to do a backport (specifically to 4.4). I don't think we ever came to a definitive conclusion. So, there may be additional discussion needed here. But, the following is what I have.
What about 4.9? It's also needed there, will this patch also work there?
I'll put together a version for 4.9. Was just waiting to see if Michal or Jerome had any comments on this patch/approach.
