Correct, the sh change is queued for the next merge window. For 2.6.31 we
are not using the generic macros in the script, so the breakage is
immaterial there. There will be a bit of an ordering issue for the merge
window with regards to the kbuild fixes, but as long as the revised
macros show up at some point then I can merge after that. If kbuild-fixes
merges before the merge window then of course the ordering issue goes
away.
