As recently as last month, someone's patch to add such support was
rejected for this reason [1].

I had no idea.. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I will re-submit in that

This has been happening repeatedly since circa 2014, on multiple
architectures. It's quite frustrating, really.

It must not be that important. From the last time, IMO Christophe's
version was much closer to being merged than this series. This is not
how you get things upstream:

* Dropped powerpc changes
  Christophe Leroy has reservations about the features for powerpc. I
  don't think his reservations are founded, and these changes should
  fully work on powerpc. However, I dropped these changes so Christophe
  can have more time to get comfortable with the changes.
