This conflicted w/ a patch from Johannes, and I couldn't easily
figure-out how to resolve them. Since his claimed to fix something
else along with this problem, I just applied his.
Also, please don't refer to commit IDs directly, especially ones
that aren't already in linux-2.6. Instead, please refer to the
patch subject. If the commit is already in linux-2.6, then a short
reference to the commit ID is acceptable.
