We're now base freeze period, so I would like to keep the minimum
modification for lkh and libc6. I would like to know what package is
this bug affected?
BTW, "possible patch" is fine for me. Is this already tested? And do
you have intension to clean up upstream kernel headers? It seems fine
for me, so please get submit to upstream and get review.
