2.6.31 is ok for me. I sent Ingo a patch to remove the broken feature
which uses the wrong event for 2.6.30. I can reintroduce the fixed
version for 2.6.31 too.
Other way may be to send this patch to 2.6.30 which makes a smaller fix
possible for dma-api debugging. But I am not sure if this new event
could go in after the merge window. So I choosed this way :)
For me, 2.6.31 for this patch is fine.

Thanks,
