OK..
But with both this patch and "tmio_mmc-revise-limit-on-data-size.patch"
the changelogs fail to describe the impact of the bug upon our users.
So when I sit here trying to work out whether the patches should be
applied to 2.6.35 and whether they should be backported into -stable, I
don't have enough information.
What are your thoughts on this?
