Dear Luis,

Thank you for the patch. Tested and working, looks good to me. As this
has already been pulled into Andrew Morton's tree, I have added in Jens
and the linux-block list so there is awareness that the patch will go
via -mm then linux-next tree.

For what it's worth (although guess it won't be in the commit now):
