Sorry about that, but I wouldn't worry about it too much as it doesn't
seem to be causing a conflict.

The latter commit was in the ext3 tree before being merged by Linus and
I guess I missed it initially because sometimes the check for
duplicates in the mm tree produces a longish list when the mm tree is
updated during the day and the mm-hotfixes tree has already been merged
(and gets rebased as part of the mm tree rebase).

It would have been put in the list of things to ignore until it turned
up in Linus's tree today (which is an earlier and check and has a
separate ignore list).

I'll try to be more careful.
