If you're quick enough - e.g. tomorrow (there is already a git freeze [1]) we
might include that in this release (release is next week). If not, it will be
merged after the release.

Well, we cannot expect patch authors to send on more distros. But maybe some
suggestion "testing patch on more kernel versions or on more linux distributions
is recommended."

We also appreciate, if users do testing during git freeze (to find problems
before upcoming release).
