Well, i don't know. I have not written that patch, but tested and applied it
against 3.4.36 where it worked fine.

But i am unable to apply it to 3.4.46 (there are rejects if i try to apply it,
obviously because there were changes in the meanwhile) - It would be cool if
someone could tell if that patch is really needed anymore with 3.4.46.

I am no C coder and only have little C experience, but i'd like to use this
patch with current 3.4 stable Kernel or at least make sure that this patch is
not needed anymore with current stable kernels...
