So that would be commit id ea9d8e3f45404d411c00ae67b45cc35c58265bb7 ?

Or something else?

I'll queue that one up for the next .32 stable update, but will refrain
from having it in this specific release in an hour, as there has not
been any time to test it all out.  I will start up a round for the next
.32 kernel right afterward, later today, with this patch in it.
