Here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f8248434e6a11d7cd314281be3b39bbcf82fc243 The other EC patches in this merge are also regarded as -stable material, but let's wait a couple of days to avoid possible regressions (although Alex thinks there sould be none ;-)).
