Oh, I got that one. I don't know why Bharata sent the patch series
again. Especially since I don't know which version of the patches he sent out :(

The original patches where rotting in my queue for quite some time until
Andreas got fed up with me having no time to work on them. Now since Andreas
is busy working on other things I took over again. Thats it.
