Shouldn't we figure this one out before merging?

I think we at least need a printk() there.
I can add a printk(). I am hoping Yasunori Goto has something to
handle this, before we really merge into mainline.

Ah, yes. I'm making patches for around here. I'm sorry for your waiting.

BTW, do you hurry for merging your patch? To be honest, I would like to solve not only here
but also some other issues.
But, if you hurry, I'll concentrate to solve only this.

Bye.

I am hoping to get all of this merged into 2.6.26. Till then I would like this to
be tested in -mm. I am not in a hurry, but I would like to make sure some one is
working on the issue. Please let me know, if you have something to test - I will
be happy to help out.

Thanks,
Badari
