OK.

Also I tested your patch in the link below again and it is OK.

     http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133728068726465&w=2

Sorry for my fault because the patch above can't be applied cleanly
against -next and I edited it manually to cause the previous test
mistake.

Greg and Peter, so I recall this patch and Peter may send a formal
one for merge.

Thanks,
