I doesn't matter to me either. It touches x86-related code, so it makes
sense to go through you, besides you've already started it :).

My only concern is that it should go in now since it got caught couple
of days before 2.6.32 got released. A proper fix wouldn't have made it
in at that late in the release cycle (-rc8), therefore, I'll be at least
able to backport it now as soon as it hits mainline so that at least
2.6.32.2 has the proper fix.

Thanks.
