Ok, I'll put it in hw_compat_9_2.

Patch looks good. Though did you forget to add the compat entry?
I suggest we add it for all pre-9.2, in case whoever backports the recent
changes so it re-exposes again in any distro stables.
IMHO it doesn't hurt us much to be always cautious on 9.1 and 9.2 too by
loosing the termination a bit.
