It is not in Linus' tree yet. I plan to send the pull request tomorrow,
after having it rest for another night in my tree (with nightly builds)
and in linux-next.

Please drop the patch for now. The fix will include a reference to it,
so you can pull both patches once the fix shows up in Linus' tree.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks,
Guenter
