I just wanted to add the following note for Maverick... It appears this patch is queued for the upcoming v2.6.35.2 upstream stable release [1]. We've already rebased Maverick to upstream stable v2.6.35.1 (see linux-2.6.35-15.21) and I fully expect that v2.6.35.2 will be released in time for us to rebase prior to Maverick Beta (Thurs Sept 02, 2010).
