Marek, Yoshihiro,

can you test this patch please and report back ? It is not fundamental
for the rest of the series (ie the rest of the series does not depend on
it) and we can still merge the series without it but it would be good if
you can review and test anyway.

I'd like to merge this series into -next shortly.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
