Ah, thanks for pointing that out. At least my patch is harmless then
although also useless. I'll leave it in for now so I don't have to
rebase all the other bug fixes that are queued for 3.9, but I'm making
a note that I'll have to replace this with a proper one. I also
don't think that anything breaks if we apply both patches for a while,
it will just make my patch useless.

I guess you'll have to do something similar for arch/metag, and Vineet
will do it for arch/arc.

Stephen's patch is currently in Andrew's tree, and I don't see an easy
way to coordinate this. The patch we will need once both are merged
is below.
