I agree. That matches the want better.

> Andrew, Can you please push this patch to 2.6.20-rc3?

No objections from me and it merely restores 2.6.19 functionality but 
also no great rush as far as I'm concerned. Can live with applying it 
manually for a release. See Xen was the original restoration reason; 
maybe they really want it in 2.6.20...

Thanks,
Rene
