XXX Should kernel rev be bumped?
did you change any ABIs? ie, will any old modules of the same version

No
it seems unlikely, but i didn't read the big diff.
It fixes a bug that could be labeled as security-sensitive (not exploitable directly though). Bumping revision makes it easier to say "-current under rev 5.99.x is affected, 5.99.x+1 is not".
