I cannot see this patch in your tree yet.  Could be the weekend or a
deliberate decision not to send this for 2.6.34-rc anymore.

In case it was a deliberate decision, can we please make it explicit?  I
don't like the idea of adding a BUG_ON() that potentially triggers for
thousands of people this late in the stabilization process - but it is
better than having people lose data.  Even if we already ran two stable
kernels that way.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. :(
