Erm, this feature _regressed_ after the patch. All other concerns are 
secondary. What's so difficult to understand about that?

Sorry, that's not how we deal with regressions upstream...

I've been pretty polite in fact, compared to say Linus - someone should 
put a politically correct summary of:

   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/22/456
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/26/1113

into Documentation/, people keep forgetting about it.

I'm sorry if being direct and to the point offends you [no, not really], 
this discussion got _way_ off the real track it should be on: that this is 
a _regression_.

Thanks,

	Ingo
