no, it isn't going to work.
This patch depends on RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG that is introduced in 3/9.

It could be fine to merge into 3/9 during merge, but then history
wise it would be difficult to read it later with 2 big and mostly
separate changes within one patch.

Considering -preconfig if off by default it shouldn't affect
bisectability in general so I'd keep current patch order.
