Borislav:

Thanks for the review, suggestions, and comments.

Just and FYI - I'll be gone until late in this coming week on a
backpacking trip in remote Utah.  I'll work your suggestions when I
get back.

With respect to this patch and testing.  Yes, I did test and it worked
for my situation.  I would like to hear from Daniel as I'm not exactly
sure what his last change was specific to.

Daniel: with the previous patches in this series applied do you still
need this quirk for your situation?

Thanks,
 Myron
