[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Indeed, those are my thoughts - hence my quick chat with the kernel team
and them asking that I raise a bug with all the information I can lay my
hands on! Feel free to add comments when you click the 'affects me'. The
bug is now up and running, additional 'affects me' and comments will assist
the kernel team until such time as they state that they have enough
information.

Regards,

Phill.
