Wow! There, Tejun, did you see that? That is just what we fixed in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/21/334 !! :-)

But since Rafael kept it for the next merge window, we hit this failure
in 3.2-rc4.

Well, atleast for once I am feeling extremely happy that we *actually*
fixed a problem _before_ hitting it! :-)

Miles, thanks for the report. Can you please try the patch given in the
above link?
