This patch depends on the helpers introduced by the below patch:

https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4f087eafdcef24b7160b097ddb9704084767b77a

So it can't be backported to the stable branch alone. Please drop
it. It is more of a preparation for the new features to be added
in the future. If it turns out later that it is also necessary for
the stable branch, I will submit a separate patchset specifically
targeting it.

Regards,
Tiwei
