Patch applied.

Does it *really* need to go into fixes right now or can it wait until
the next merge window?

Since the rest of the patches seem to depend on it it creates a problem
where some apply to the fixes branch etc and need special care, that
is why I'm asking. If it is super-important, I will fix it.
