You can add
Tested-by:  Matthew Rosato <mjrosato@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
as this looks identical to an early version of my patch which was tested,
by Matt. (I send you the other version that changes back u as I felt that
u and up are named to identify unsigned)

and please add
Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

what about
CC: stable@vger.kernel.org
