Well, in fact it is a fix against what was introduced in a 3.0 patch
which I found to be wrong.
The reason because I do not want to be in next kernel is the fact that
it can puzzle the user (people that want to use kernel without changing
the system_rev between 2.6.39 -> 3.0 and again revert their changes for
3.0 -> 3.1).

No, in fact it was introduced during 3.0 early -rc.

Anyway, thanks a lot Arnd.
