What new hook? The hook has been there for sometime, and now we are
using it to fix a bug. I do not want to touch generic or arch code at
this point in the 2.6.21 release.

Yes, but if I don't touch arch code, I won't even affect native. I do
not want to risk any instability, despite how easy it would be to do
what you and others have asked, I don't think it is appropriate at -rc5
stage.
