You have to explain why this code move fixes the problem and you
also have to add a comment to the code so that anyone who has to
fix it in the future can understand why the code is where you
are moving it to and why that's a solution.

Please carry tags and send patches -in-reply-to the previous version
to allow threading.

Thanks,
