Actually I don't believe this applies to any kernels prior to 2.6.27-rc1. 
It looks like the commit that broke this in the first place 
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=746b9f0228a1c607b3db67c80da1c2a963321926) 
was added to the torvalds tree on July 17th and 2.6.26 was released about a 
week before.

Sorry about not putting much of a changelog in for this.  It was something I 
found as a side issue while working on something else, I set it aside and 
kept working on my patches.  I forgot to come back and put a description in 
there other than what was wrong prior to forwarding it to Jeff K.

Thanks,

Alex
