Hi Ben

This was the fix meant for next kernels (>= 3.1) , not suitable for a
backport.

I sent a patch for the backport, and David replied he would take care of
stable submission.

He did so, since it was included in 3.0-stable tree (>= 3.0.2)

This one is far more easy to be included in old kernels ;)
