Although it's not really my place to NAK, the maintainership was
recently transitioned, so NAK.  See this kernel thread
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1636154?do=post_view_threaded#1636154
for why.

See if this patch
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1660788
works for you instead.

Peter Hurley
