This looks very nice, thank you Yoshfuji.
I'm asking Linus what we should do here. It's a big change to
make to fix this bug, and if he thinks so too we'll just use
your original patch which is a safer version of the fix for 2.6.0
purposes. If that happens, we'll integrate this nicer version
for 2.6.1 or something like this.
Thank you again.
