Hmm, then I'll shorten that out of the commit message.

Yeah, but I ran into this due to a review comment on my block migration
patches.  Either it will conflict right away (and then this is
effectively part of that series for doing a backport), or it won't
conflict for me and therefore likely won't conflict for other backport
patches, so I'm willing to accept the risk to backporting.

I've gone ahead and pushed this.
