The patch just isn't an obvious -stable patch - it's adding new
functionality, not fixing a bug, and I was surprised to discover it had
been added as a result.  It's fine as new functionality and therefore
hasn't been reverted upstream.

We can probably leave it there, though if this is OK that's a bit of a
change, but if this new functionality is a good fix then we're probably
leaving other systems unfixed which isn't good, I would be very much
happier if we understood what had changed here.  If new functionality is
OK there's a probably a bunch of other changes we should be pulling
back.
