Sigh.

At times, I really don't know why I bother wasting my time commenting on
patches if they just go and agree with them, and promptly ignore them.
I pointed out what this should be:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135972750522902&w=2

And it was agreed:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135993546317541&w=2

But for some reason the wrong patch got merged:

http://marc.info/?l=git-commits-head&m=136147889001219&w=2

Maybe because it was "simpler" ?  Don't know.  But... well, we now know
what the outcome of it was.  Let's try a different technique.  I'm going
to say nothing of any real help and hopefully it will get fixed properly.
Maybe that'll work.
