Yes, it does fix an issue introduced by:

   commit: bdbcdd48883940bbd8d17eb01172d58a261a413a
   author: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>
   date:   Wed, 21 Jan 2009 08:26:06 +0000

	x86: uv cleanup

which the commit you mention above attempted to fix.

I'll leave it to you and Ingo to determine whether my patch should be
folded into Ingo's or Tejun's patch.

Ingo, I see that you've applied my patch to your tip tree. What are
your thoughts on Andrew's question?

Thanks,
Dean
