The change is committed to stable/11, and a patch against 11.1 is
available for testing now. Kostik posted a link to the patch to the
FreeBSD-stable mailing list (see
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2018-February/088451.html).
It will be turned into an update in the near future.

It will, but differences between 10 and 11 mean that more work is
still needed for the backport.
