perhaps i'm just being clueless about the authorship protocol here,
but i'm a bit hacked off by noticing that at least one submitted patch
of mine was apparently re-submitted (albeit slightly modified) a few
days later by another poster and applied under that poster's name.

on sun, dec 3, i submitted to the list:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116516635728664&w=2

It really seems to be Burman Yan's patch from November 22. Notice how
your patch still has the redundant cast whereas the applied one
doesn't.
