Thanks for your feedback!  Perhaps it would be the best to simply drop 
the
submission to stable kernels...  Believe it or not, :) I spent a fair 
amount
of time deliberating over the submission to stable, but now I think it's
simply better to omit that and not increase the amount of patches that 
go
into stable unnecessary.

Would you like me to send the v2 with no Cc to stable, or would you 
prefer
to drop that line yourself?
