I raised an Ubuntu bug which references this information and patch at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049013 I have now been asked: "Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc?" Do you have any info on this? Thanks, Brian.
