This commit is now commit 994dad686e755477 in riscv/fixes.
However, riscv/for-next contains the similar but empty commit
acf3fcb5e9199cc9.  Presumably this is the result of a bad rebasing of
for-next on top of fixes?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
