If necessary, I am willing to test whatever final proposed patch the
community recommends, settles on, and accepts. Would you all like me to
test the v3 patch as well? Or are we calling it good at this point, and
can expect this to be merged into a final stable kernel release sometime
soon? I must admit, I'm looking forward to officially making this bug go
bye-bye!
