Apologies for being flippant. I didn't mean to offend. My bad #1.

I can only apologize for not adding the fixes tag because I honestly
didn't see the fixes tag request until after the follow-ups. I didn't
indent to rile anyone on this and I didn't want to offend anyone by
purposely ignoring their requires. My bad #2.

I did. And I was wrong. My bad #3.

Whatever is needed to get fixes into the kernel. Some say it's a bug,
others don't. As long as it's fixed then I'm happy.  If in the process I
did the wrong thing I can only apologize profoundly and profusely.
