This should go into 2.6.13. I doublechecked it by inspection and
ran numerous tests. It's only existed this long (years) due to the
fact that few people run a disk-based PPC440 system. I would have
sent it up sooner except I wanted to be very sure of my testing
since I don't always trust my own inspection. :)
