The patch was generated against a recent tree but was sent with the
wrong e-mail client. A detailed explanation can be found here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=5ce9f07bf1bed9a1f9886373ad0b149294f84c25.

I'll resend a slightly modified version of this patch - a version with
a refined commit message and that preserves more of the original text.

Bart.
