I already said I'm not comfortable applying a patch that intrusive at
this stage of -rc7.  I don't understand it nearly well enough, and given
that v1 ended up *not* solving the problem, and neither did v2 or v3,
I'm not convinced you understand it well enough either.  I think v4 is
appropriate for applying during the 2.6.30 merge window.

If you can find someone who really does understand it to review it and
agree it's OK for a post-rc7 merge, I'll consider changing my mind.
