The change is harmless while we're twiddling our thumbs waiting
for you to implement the fix "properly."

Not having the fix in is a developer burdon because people turn
on the DMA API debugger and are going to keep reporting it's
complaints here and elsewhere.

Get over your Napoleon complex, and let reasonable working fixes
get into the tree even if you don't find them optimal.  You can
always improve them later, "when you get around to it."

People put fixes in without my ACK in my areas of expertiece all
the time.  I got over it a long time ago, it's OK, and not worth
stressing out over.

Thanks.
