For the -rc cycle we try to limit the patches to oopses and regressions,
especially this close to v3.11 being tagged.

It seems the bug has been there for quite some time, and that we don't
seem to have oopses or other failures reporting this. So it seems there's
no reason for urgency to have it merged into the current -rc series.

If you (or somebody else) strongly feels that it should be in applied
to the current -rc series as a fix instead of during the merge window,
then please let me know the failing cases with logs showing what
happens.

Regards,

Tony
