I expect this to appear in upstream kernels fairly soon. The less work Debian
has to do to test kernels the better. By using a fairly stock kernel, we are
not as prone to weird Debian only bugs. Also, users tend to grab kernels from
the upstream just as often as they use the one shipped by Debian. If
functionality suddenly disappears when the user thought they were upgrading, it
would be bad.
