Hmmm, no, I just checked, but more than half a year ago, we already
did this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/142

It looks like Jeff is too busy to maintain UML patches recently...

Andrew, could you please take UML patches for us? Recently I also
saw some uml patches but no one took them (at least I don't know).

If Andrew can't do this, I would like to take those patches to send
to Linus, if others don't have objections. Andrew?
