Hi Tim,
Sorry for the delay; I didn't monitor the upstream tree, and didn't 
notice that the patch had already been upstreamed.  It's in Linus' tree 
as of commit 642d892522 on April 27th.  It has S-o-b Jeff Garzik, but 
not "Cc: stable at kernel.org".

What's the process at this point?  Do I need to correspond with 
stable at kernel.org?  Do I need to resubmit the patch with Jeff G.'s S-o-b?

Thanks,
Matt
