Uhm, yeah. Sorry about that. I never figured it would be this difficult
to get the fix into ustream, which is a requirement for getting it into
the stable kernels.
And then upstream managed to refactor/rename the files involved before
the fix was applied, and the version that finally went in (to 2.6.39)
also missed the stable Cc...
But I've now sent a backported version of the upstream fix to stable, so
that it hopefully will end up in 2.6.32.x Real Soon Now(tm). That
should also make it appear in Debian squeeze.
2.6.38 might still require special handling. The fix from 2.6.39
upstream will apply directly, but I don't know if I care enough to
actually push it. I assume 2.6.38.x stable will be dead in a while
anyway.
