Bug#600299: Openvz kernels appear to log unitialised memory to the console with log_buf_len=XX

[Tim Small <tim@seoss.co.uk>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-23
Severity: normal

Thanks, tested and confirmed working against svn sid (686), and svn
lenny (amd64) and applies cleanly to both.


Tested-By: tim@seoss.co.uk

Would you like me to check upstream OpenVZ, and open a bug in their
tracker if relevant?

BTW, I fixed up the test-patches script so that it works for patches
like the one you supplied (i.e. patches which need to be applied only
when a particular featureset is being built). HTH.

Cheers,

Tim.
