Another patch for 2.6.11.x: already in main tree, fixes kernel panic

Also a documentation change fixing user-panic can-t-find-required-software
failure (just the same patch as in mainline) :-)


We are not accepting documentation fixes.  Could you please send just
the panic fix to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (cc lkml)?  And add Signed-off-by...

I really think you should not have a hard and fast rule on doc, for the case where a fix also makes the mainline doc wrong and someone might do something destructive reading the mainline docs and using the fixed code. Drivers come to mind.


I am NOT saying this is such a case, I'm just against zero tolerance rules when I can see a reasonable case where they don't do what you want.
