That's right and I didn't mean that way.
This was the same reason, first patch I just mentioned what was wrong
in the code
rather than mention of any commit.
Tony,
Let me know if you want to add any commit history to the change since
the issue was actually existing without 'arm_memblock_stea()' commit.
I think, first change log was good enough from the fix point of view.
