This patch has remained unchanged since first imported into linux-next in
March 6.

So, the question is: What are the consequences of reverting it?  I am not
in a position to judge, but if it causes boxes to simply not boot, then
it would be a major regression in 2.6.26 and simply cannot be included
there.

I will revert it at the end of today's tree and hope that there is some
resolution before the merge window opens.

Of course, there is still the question of the other architectures ...
