So what I actually did and why:

Upstream: backported the first 2 patches and not the new API.  Very
minor performance regression, but we don't have awkward questions
about whether the new API was introduced in 1.10 or 1.12 (because
if we do add it in 1.10, then it confuses people using <= 1.10.3).

Fedora: same as upstream.

RHEL 9.0: backported all 3 patches, including the new API.  Adjusted
the message downstream to make it appear the new API is added in 1.10.

RHEL 8: nothing
