It is 100% unclear (to me) why this change is being made.
Apparently this is considered a needed-in-2.6.28 change. But I don't
know why.
If I knew that then I'd be in a better position to work out whether it
is also needed in 2.6.27.x, to which it also applies cleanly.
IOW: better changelogs, please.
