It is good that this issue is addressed and patch merged, however, for the
record, Vincent has already had a solution for this, and we had a patch,
including other cleanups (the latest version is: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/3/925).
And I think Ben first pointed this out (and we then attempted to address it)
as far as I can tell.
