Would it be possible to officially MFC this patch[2] to stable/15, given that 15.0-RELEASE has already been published? The patch has been tested in 16.0-CURRENT for couple months now, and an MFC to stable/15 is possible by pulling in only one other commit[1] as a prerequisite. It also appears that it no longer breaks the ABI[3] and was even reworked to increase robustness[4]. There is still sufficient time to test this enhancement in stable/15, and it would be a good candidate for inclusion in 15.1-RELEASE.
