It appears to be worse than that.  It introduces a regression.  On boot 
up on a Compaq Alpha XP1000 the system appears to freeze at the point of 
mounting swap.  It eventually resumes after almost three minutes and 
continues to boot.  A bisection returned this very commit as the first 
bad commit.  With a kernel without this commit the (truncated) bootup 
log is:

[   19.904286] ftdi_sio: v1.6.0:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver
[   20.133778] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:01:00.1 to 64
[   20.900379] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] 
GUID[0000303c0009c6d0]
[   23.142566] hda-intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling 
mode: last cmd=0x000f0001
[   24.162097] Adding 1999992k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-1 extents:1 
across:1999992k
[   24.495104] EXT3-fs (sda4): using internal journal

With the commit the log becomes:

[   19.970692] ftdi_sio: v1.6.0:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver
[   20.207020] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:01:00.1 to 64
[   21.052723] ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] 
GUID[0000303c0009c6d0]
[   23.215808] hda-intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling 
mode: last cmd=0x000f0001
[  189.828027] Adding 1999992k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-1 extents:1 
across:1999992k
[  190.162012] EXT3-fs (sda4): using internal journal

Otherwise the system seems to come up okay.

Cheers
Michael.
