Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products.

I have posted the attached patch internally for consideration in the 5.3 kernel. It is now awaiting internal discussion and signoff. I will update this bug with the results from that process. In the meantime, please let me know if you are planning to ship a module on systems prior to 5.3 and require a temporary workaround for this whitelist omission.
