I guess most people are just satisfied with this patch, which,
obviously, works great. Therefore nobody really cares if it would go
upstream or not, because, obviously, it won't (otherwise, tell me, how
much longer it should take to accept this patch?).

Also, the "things to test would include" items look like the author
hasn't even tested the patch, otherwise, he wouldn't have any of those
concerns.

Thank you.
