I consider this patch making the kernel more robust. The reason I asked
was to know if it should be marked for stable or not. If nothing
currently relies on it, I just put it into the -rc as a "make the
kernel a little more robust" change. If other code relies on it, I
mark it for stable.

I'll take this patch as more of a clean up.

Thanks!
