Subject: Re: [PATCH] [0/6] kfifo fixes/improvements
First having to rely on another large patchkit makes
it annoying to develop for this (it's the linux kernel
equivalent of DLL hell), but ok. I hope the interface
doesn't change again at least.

How about the current users for 2.6.33? Unless they are not
record oriented or always put in power-of-two records they will
need this patch, otherwise they risk desynchronization on fifo
full.
I think the patch is needed.
Also should drop the unused interfaces for 2.6.33 before anyone
else tries to use them and gets the same nasty surprise as me.
