Argh. Could we please be better with the changelogs? This one tells us briefly what the patch does, but it deosn't tell us why it does it. It doesn't tell us whether it fixes some bug (and if so what that bug is) and it gives me no means of determining whether the patch is needed in 2.6.26 or in 2.6.25.x.
