I think that what happened there is that I built the branch before the fixup was upstreamed, so I never noticed that. It's queued up right now, but I don't think I'll make another release except a final one in January when it EOLs. If this fix is urgent for anyone then something is wrong as this kernel dies in two weeks... -- Thanks, Sasha
