Bug description:
  
  SRU Justification

  Impact:

  The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope
  to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a
  bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either
  directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that
  patch.

  The 2.6.32.23 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
  included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
