Ok, thanks. It's a good example because the fix for this CVE actually
came by itself (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git/tree/debian.master/changelog).
Normally multiple CVEs come at the same time, which would make a
workaround for one now helpful. This is a good counter-example.
I'm going to maintain that I really don't like this. But it looks
useful, so ack on the concept, I'll just have to look again at the
code now. Thanks for indulging me.
