This is exactly the reason why we did not post the patch to 2.6.33 or
stable when we submitted it upstream since there was no regression or
bug tied to it at that time. It surely is a problem that needs fixing,
which we did in the current release. I just highlighted that if there is
a request for this to be fixed in stable then we already have the patch
available. I'm ok with this one only going into 2.6.34.
