Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 Beta1 (x86_64) - Kernel 3.12.16-boris-00441-g60dc93e99a75-dirty (ttyS0).

Then it keeps spitting out crap off and on but it is much more
manageable. As it should be.

So thanks for that fix:

Acked-and-tested-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

I'll pick it up for SLE12 once it sees a bit more upstream time.
