Hi,

It seems to be helping here.  Without it 35.2 would either stall in boot or give lots of tracebacks.  With it things
start normally and my background stuff works as expected.

I have the drm-core-next tree, andrea's transparent huge page support-29, a patch to let xconfig work with qt4,
and one to help em28xx from having problems during startup on top of 35.2

Thanks,
Ed Tomlinson
