With the current RAM prices, let me remind you of my solution from 2017 that unfortunately wasn't merged, but maybe it's time to revisit it? https://lore.kernel.org/all/20170401211813.15146-1-vbabka@suse.cz/

@vbabka if the RAM prices get back to normal, you should probably revisit this and use your time to maintain other more useful features

Linux 6.19 Goes Ahead And Enables Microsoft C Extensions Support

Last month I reported on Linux 6.19 looking to enable Microsoft C Extensions support throughout the Linux kernel with setting the -fms-extensions compiler option to allow Microsoft C Extensions when building the kernel. Linus Torvalds today merged that support without objections...

I think I had a similar experience myself in the past...on the 'junior dev' side lol
Now I try to do something reasonable instead of "amazing" new stuff
