Sadly, this is now buried under some other patches so I'd have to rebase the
branch if I were to add this and I don't think it's worth it just to add a
tag. On the plus side, the patch has a Link: tag to this thread, so the
Fixes tag is retrievable if you're determined enough.
If somebody wants this for stable, then I suppose they'll have to send
a backport to make sure it doesn't get missed.
