Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

As this is a fix for a regression (one that Srikar Dronamraju recently
ran into as well and bisected again :-/ ), please allow me to ask:

James, Martin, what is needed to get this or some other solution for the
regression finally mainlined?

FWIW, the thread afaics accumulated three Reviewed-by an one Tested-by
in the meantime.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
