Hey Qinglin Pan,

Other comments aside, it'd be good to add previous reviewers to the CC
list on follow-up versions.

Although, with the "also" should this be two patches or is there a
compile time dependency?

Out of curiousity, why doesn't this series add the support?
Do you intend sending a follow up series?

Would using IS_ENBLED() cause problems here?
