Applied with even no offsets to -rc5-mm1. Booted and working fine:

before

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2744 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1370.15 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 158 MB in 3.00 seconds = 52.64 MB/sec

after

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 3000 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1498.73 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 160 MB in 3.03 seconds = 52.85 MB/sec

so no loose.

Thanks.
