Please note that I have some problem in my test setup and therefore was unable to fully test this patchset. I am posting this though, as the impact of the bug is not trivial (always disabling persistent grants), and to make testing of my proposed fix from others easier. Hope to get someone's test results or code review of this patchset even before I fix my test setup problem. Juergen, I didn't add your 'Reviewed-by:'s to the first two patches of this series because I changed some of the description for making it clear which bug and commit it is really fixing. Specifically, I wordsmithed the working and changed 'Fixed:' tag. Code change is almost same, though.
