Prarit noted that I implemented these patches against 3.5 (what the 
problem was reported against) and not Linus' head.

I'm mostly just looking for input on the approach, but just in case 
anyone else wanted to actually play with these patches, they'll need to 
do so against 3.5. I'll  update the patchset against Linus' tree before 
I send them out again.

Sorry about that.

thanks
