OK. Please

a) include this info in the v2 changelog

b) consider whether you believe the fix should be backported into
-stable kernels and if so, add a Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and,
if appropriate, add a Fixes: target

c) Place a couple of comments in the code to help readers understand
why we're doing this

d) try to amke the changelog a little less puzzling ;)

e) retest and resend!

Thanks.
