Patch applied with Roland's ACK.

But seriously, this is the kind of stuff that scares me a lot,
when developers merge dependent patches into two different
trees, that is just a recipe for chaos and me getting flamed
by other kernel maintainers.

There is *no* mention of this dependency in the other
commit.
