OK, I see it in linux-next for 3.9 (commit 7dfe4be351e816) but
it needs to get to mainline/Linus before 3.8 gets released,
since that is where the regression is introduced (and that
is why I ended up not seeing the fix, and redoing it, as
I was working off of mainline).

$ git describe --contains d68cbdd4fb
v3.8-rc1~47^2~53

Thanks,
Paul.
