Could you please include more details about the setup that's broken ?
Note that we were warned[1] of potential breakage from this change
after it went in and regardless of the suggestion from the RFC we'll
probably have to revert this patch.

Ying Xu as author of the patch, any thoughts ?

Also adding Linus LÃssing to the CC as he was the one who warned against it.
Note that the warning was sent as a reply to my breakage fix, but it was intended
for the original patch.

Thanks,
Nik
