From my point of view, no more changes are needed. I would not give any
guarantees until we have a first kernel release including this code, but
I think we can agree that we would consult you about ABI changes if they
seem necessary before then.

If you start (re)building the Fedora packages based on these kernel
headers, the changes are pretty good that this will keep working.
