This is now upstream in Linus's tree, but does not apply to the .32,
.32, or .34 kernel trees due to the file movements in this area.  I
tried to apply this by hand, but didn't get it correct.

Can someone please send me a properly backported version of this patch
to apply to the -stable tree?

thanks,
