No, commit db350b084dc2cf816288643861ce07b0562dd723 is already in 2.6.28, which is needed in order to have the patch that we reverted in 2.6.27.17 work properly. So it's safe to keep this in the .28-stable tree. Unless you or anyone else is having problems with it? If so, please let me know. thanks, greg k-h
