Well yes, the followup patch
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/xfs-support-cow-in-fsdax-mode-fix.patch)
will most definitely be folded.

suppress this notification?  A Fixes: won't work, as neither of these
patches have yet been promoted to a "stable" state.  Their hashes will
change.
