Where things are actually broken we'll want the fix in stable kernel
trees so ideally we'll have the following:

1) Your current fix applied asap marked for stable.
2) Dmitry's patch resurfaces and allows us to follow up in a cycle or so with
cleanups that move every case over to that, hopefully avoiding any further repeats
of this problem!

If you can role a response to the point Lars raised and send an updated series
that would be great.  Next set of fixes to head towards mainline will be next
weekend at the earliest anyway so we have a bit of time to tidy up!
