AFAICS there was only a RFC V2 version which was sent on Wed, 13 Sep 2023 and not a non-RFC version. Sorry, if I am missing something

Yes, you're right, and I've just noticed I've been rebasing James' old patch set, not his new one (since he used the same tag/branch name in two different trees.) Sorting that out at the moment...
Consequently, I've pressed ahead with one of the changes I proposed, giving James a chance to object, but heard nothing. It is now merged into mainline kernels.

This one - right?
No, an earlier version was merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/E1qgnh2-007ZRZ-WD@rmk-PC.armlinux.o...
because I was given misleading feedback on that, which meant that the non-RFC version you linked to was broken. Since the non-RFC version and the RFC v2 version were identical except for the ia64 bits, Thomas merged the RFC v2 version to avoid breaking ia64.
I have updated James' patch set and I'm intending to post a new patch set later today, updated with the change which has now been merged.
In the mean time, it's here:

Will you be posting James complete series as a 'non-RFC' version later today?
It is now way too late in the kernel cycle for this to be merged, so it doesn't matter whether it's posted as RFC or not, it won't be merged for at least another approx. three weeks.
