Can the list please give some opinions on whether this fix should be
added into the next .legacy kernel which I'm preparing? I'm assuming
that the patch has been fairly well tested by now. As always, there is a
fine line between adding functionality which could come with it more
bugs, and providing wanted fixes. We really really need to get this one
out of the door in the next week or so, I think, otherwise we are just
going to get left behind with the next round of inevitable fixes.

Cheers,

Dominic.
