Quinn Tran ACKed a nearly identical patch from Bruno Prémont in a
different thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2257008/focus=2257139

>From what I can see in the initial mail in that thread it seems Bruno
successfully tested the patch he submitted. But I have no idea if the
patch is in someones queue to mainline right now. That's why I had it on
my "if nothing happens soon, poke someone" list...
