To be clear, the patch attached here was submitted upstream but has not
yet been accepted.  We would much rather not carry code which may not
make it in that form in the official kernels as it makes maintenance
much much harder.  It would help if someone could follow up on the email
thread and ask what happened to the patch as it seems to be missing from
the maintainer trees.
