We intended to push this fix upstream but doing so got inadvertently
overlooked as we put focus to new issues.  I mentioned how long ago
this patch was developed purely to help illustrate the stability of

Eugene Dashevsky authored the patch; I refreshed it against 2.6.27-rc3:

Signed-off-by: Eugene Dashevsky <eugene@...ix.com>
Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <msnitzer@...ix.com>
