Some callers handle SYS_INFO_ALL_BT themselves before calling sys_info(). Add a helper that strips that bit without turning an all_bt only mask into a kernel_sys_info fallback.
I assume this patch wants a Fixes: and a cc:stable also. It would be nice to have the conventional [0/N] cover letter to tell readers what this is all about. The patches all have different Fixes: targets. This risks inviting the -stable maintainers to merge only some of the patches into some kernels, resulting in an untested combination and which might break things. It would be cleaner to make all patches have the same Fixes: target if possible.
