David, I guess that's really a better question for Sage. He sent my branch (which includes your changes) plus a whole slew of things over to Linus. I'm going guess that a small follow on patch is simplest but I'll let him comment. Here's the original pull request: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137849853203101&w=2 Also, so far after making this change everything is peachy and theres no other regressions. P.S: This is a resend because I did no hit reply to ALL, sorry for the spam David.
