Umm...  It would help if you described these 3 layouts:
	1) kernel-side with VDSP
	2) userland (identical to (1)?)
	3) kernel-side without VDSP
Still confused...

PS: my apologies re commit message - I left a note to myself when doing

Anyway, which tree should it go through?  In any case, that fix is
Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

up to you.
