Just trying to point at it and make sure that one doesn't miss 2.6.22 final, 
and let you all know that it fixes a real bug I've been seeing and 
complaining about for a while.

Reported in May:
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/10/670

Reported again in June:
  http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0706.2/0429.html

Also poked at the qemu guys a few times.

If you've got it under control already, life is good...

Thanks,

Rob
