I share your concerns and I think there is no such risk here. Upstream don't 
do standalone module development and I had to extract module(s) sources from 
kernel tree. As far as I'm aware all Ceph modules development is done in-tree.

Just in case I commited "README.source" file with note "not suitable for 
stable".

I'll consider this but I hope that won't be necessary if upstream make sure 
that fix is included to point release of Linux_3.14 in a timely manner.

Thank you.
