To Be honest I'm not sure. I remember that I've seen it for the first
time when I tried to install kernel-2.6.32-0.65.rc8.git5.fc13.i686
package from Fedora Rawhide and that was on 7th December. The only
kernels I could be running at that time are:
2.6.32-rc8-tip-02151-gf00b740, 2.6.32-tip-02531-gbbbe9f2 or
2.6.32-tip-02695-g4dc2ffc.
