It's even more obvious here. We load a constant and then immediately
do a "sub $1" on that value.

It's not a huge deal, you don't have to respin the series for this, I
just wanted to point it out so that people are aware of it and if I
forget somebody else will hopefully remember that "we should fix that
too".

The changes seem easy enough and I need to respin at least for the
lkdtm changes, and probaby also for a pending fix in the low-level
x86 code that will hopefully be picked up for 5.9.

But the more important questions is: how do we want to pick the series
up?  Especially due to the splice changes I really want it to be in
linux-next as long as possible.
