Arvind has made a number of similar such changes throughout the tree, I presume
with some automation. In this case, since there is no indication of a particular
manifestation of this bug on hardware, I will presume the same approach was
taken here. I'm dropping this patch as "changes requested" because at the very
least this needs a commit log which documents the problem manifested and why the
behavioral change is appropriate.
