Hi Greg,

I downloaded you staging tree and compared the logs for the core.h file.
Compared to linux-next tag next-20110510 it is missing 2 commits:
4dbee6b76fffd5740e87e286f4f4c1c15901bcae
558aa9c0d620b91a896d5e39ce8a570bed65589b
where the first one is the "oldest" one in the log and is the most
important one for my patch.
Another option would be for me to fix the patch for your tree, but
then I would probably have to fix it back in a few days when you update
your staging tree to Linux-next. How often is your tree updated?

The easiest is probably to wait a few days until you have the next-20110510
tag in your tree and then apply the patch.

Thanks,
P-G
