Thank you.  I'm reassigning the bug to the Linux kernel and hopefully
mark it as fixed in 3.3 and later.

Now the question is which commits would need to be backported to the
wheezy kernel.  Some candidates:

,----

But that's beyond my skills :-(, so I'm passing the ball to the Debian
kernel team.
