That doesn't help answer the question.  What we need to know is whether
this patch works alone?  If not, do we know for sure that Steve's patches
are going in during the next merge window?

If it doesn't work alone _and_ Steve's patches aren't for whatever reason
going in (via the net tree), then this patch should be dropped from the
set.
