We already have it: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=61cf16d8bd38c3dc52033ea75d5b1f8368514a17 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=890ed578df82f5b7b5a874f9f2fa4f117305df5f Is there something insufficient about these or are you testing on and older kernel?
