Your submitting this for Bradley? If so you need to have a line like
this at the top,

From: Bradley Smith <[email protected]>

That denotes that your not the author of the commit..

Also this is against v2.6.36-rcX right ?

We can't have this selectable , especially if the kernel will OOPS if
it's off ..

I need a better description of the problem. What was the oops? This
looks DMA related, is that accurate and could you expand on why DMA was
