That's for 2.6.36 and -stable (for 2.6.35), yes?

Can I have a signed-off-by for it?

Brian, I have a distinct impression that there's at least one more patch
from you that I really ought to be sending to Linus for 2.6.36, but I
can't find it right now. Other than this and what's already in
mtd-2.6.git, is there anything else?

Thanks, btw.
