I wanted to give my refactoring patch a little testing in linux-next but
my gut feeling tells me it would be wiser to go with your fix that late
in the cycle and postpone mine for the next kernel. In the meantime,
it'll see more testing in linux-next.

I'll push the two fixes tomorrow if Linus hasn't pulled yet otherwise
I'll have to wait for -rc6 with your patch, but even that'll do.
