At minimum, it is going to take a few weeks for the patch to land in Linus's tree and get backported to stable and I would like to avoid carrying any change in our continuous integration, as it adds additional maintenance overhead. Not to mention we are not the only continuous integration setup that tests with tip of tree LLVM so this breakage is going to be noticed by multiple parties, who won't have the ability to apply patches.
