Ok I updated fixes-stuff with just 2 patches which seem to be enough to
fix it. Plus a patch to convert Linus' hack into something we can keep
plus a drive-by WARNING fix in mst that got in the way for me.
Seems to work here in getting rid of the Oops. If this tests out for you
too I'll send a pull to Linus.
Thanks, Daniel
