Right, that's why I wrote "So these improvements shall be upstreamed" :)

IMO the parts that require third-party kernel patches shall be
upstreamed as well: the end goal would be that the resulting upstream
profile can be pulled as-is by as many distros as possible, including
those that apply these patches, i.e. Ubuntu and OpenSUSE.
