Sorry, you are correct, I was mistaken, it's been in the kernel tree
[1] for over a decade. However I can't find it mentioned in the config
for the Debian kernels on my machine so I'm assuming Debian don't
enable it (I'm looking in /boot/config-5.10.0-11-amd64). But you say
you found in in you kernel configs?
