Here is what I currently have for the patch series we were discussing
recently.
I'm interested to see how this goes with the problem you are seeing.
The last patch in the series (the attributes update patch) has seen
no more than compile testing, I hope I haven't messed up on that.
Please keep in mind that Greg's continued silence on the question
of whether the series might be re-considered indicates to me that
he has not changed his position on this.
