This is an old (3.8) commit that seems to have been backported to 3.2
as a dependency of 45e2a9d4701d8c624d4a4bcdd1084eae31e92f58 and all
the other stable kernels already included it.  Since I am not aware of
any new regression, I believe this is could be a 3.2 specific issue.

Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing this, as we have an Ubuntu kernel
that is based on 3.2, to which we regularly apply 3.2 releases.

Cheers,
