The patch didn't apply properly automatically: it was rejected because
the context was incorrect. I've tried adding it manually by using vi.
We'll see what happens when I recompile the kernel but I'm not so
hopeful.
Here's the diff I ended up with: osl.c is the linux kernel src for
Ubuntu as of 2.6.24-24 osl.c.new is what I created manually after
applying your proposed patch.
diff osl.c osl.c.new
