This code is gone in what will become 2.6.29, but the fix can be
backported into the stable tree.  Do you want to generate and send the
patch (and get your name in the commit message)?  Send the patch to
aflem...@freescale.com, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org and to
sta...@kernel.org.  Make sure you specify that this is applicable for
2.6.28 only.
