Most likely - the breakage is really not hard to trigger ;-/ Linus, which way would you prefer to handle that? It's a brown paperbag stuff - the worst I had in quite a while. Mea maxima culpa ;-/ One variant would be to revert the original patch, put its (hopefully) fixed variant into -next and let it sit there for a while. Another is to put this incremental into -next and merge it into mainline once it gets a sane amount of testing. Up to you...
