Neither this patch nor Denis's earlier version contained an adequate
decription.  We aren't told what these "problems" are, so we're unable
to judge the appropriateness of patch.

Both patches were wordwrapped.

Both patches use an atypical layout style for the comments.

I fixed up some of these things and merged the patch into my tree, for
sending to Ingo for 2.6.32.

Please send a description of the problem which the patch fixes and I
shall add that to my copy of the changelog.

Thanks.
