Well, this has an interesting ancestry. The original upstream commits
were c278531d39f3158bfee93dc67da0b77e09776de2,
60d4616f3dc63371b3dc367e5e88fd4b4f037f65 and (most importantly)
dee1f973ca341c266229faa5a1a5bb268bed3531 by Dmitry Monakhov
<dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxxx>. They were backported into the RHEL 6 kernel by
Lukas Czerner, according to its changelog. Dann got this version from
Oracle's redpatch repository, where, if I understand rightly, Jamie Iles
attempted to regenerate Lukas's patch(es).

Would any of the above named be prepared to put their Signed-off-by to
this?

Ben.
