Thanks for pointing our noses to this. Your comment triggered some further
internal discussions about the meaning of the values for the current
system implementation. We'll think this one over again and repost the
final solution in time for 2.6.24-rc1.

If the rest of this patchset is okay with you, could you apply it and
leave out this one patch? The patchset will apply cleanly without it.

Thanks,
Joachim
