Hi Jens,
I'm writing this short cover letter to hopefully help you decide what
to do with this patch, in this late phase of the development
cycle. This patch fixes a bug causing kernel crashes for at least
one year. Crashes apparently affect only a minority of users, but are
systematic for them (a crash every few tens of minutes for some).

By the time you wrote that email, 4.12 was already released for hours.
So there's really no choice this time but to queue it up for 4.13.
