I don't think a revert is justified after all this time. afaik I'm the
first person to notice the problem, and it's been out there for
multiple months.
However it would be good if we could find some not-completely-stinky

otoh, people who are shipping 2.6.25- and 2.6.26-based distros probably
wouldn't want such a patch in their kernels anyway.
