Hello,

Thank you for this very good and relevant question - I should have
investigated more.

My first reaction was "Oh damn, he's right, we simply cannot do this
SRU".

Then, after digging more into it:
* This is where I initially found the bug report and the 6.10 kernel 
explanation [0]
* They mention this redhat bug where actual solutions are discussed [1]
* The simple solution they chose is to revert one upstream commit [2]. But they 
also mention a NULL pointr dereference patch [3] that was required. This patch 
was backported to Ubuntu kernel 6.8 [4].

The thread also mention some more obscure issues with out of tree
drivers, and it's difficult for me to be sure that this SRU will not
break *any* weird configuration. So dropping this SRU looks safer to me.
What do you think?
