Hi Kalle,

This is actually the third version. You are referring to the 
not-specifically-named "v2" here, but how are you to know ;-) This third 
version is the same as v1 on which I commented to put the coccinelle 
output in the commit message. So I would still keep v2 if nothing else 
changed in v3 apart from my Acked-by: tag.

Regards,
Arend
