This patch is now in mainline for 2.6.29, as
0461ec5bc7745b89a8ab67ba0ea497abd58a6301.

It appears to be needed in every 2.6.x kernel back to at least 2.6.25,
but nobody told the -stable maintainers about this.

An appropriate way of flagging this is to add

Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxx>

to the changelog body.
