I don't think it's changed much since the original, but I've posted
what's in linux-next as of today, and it doesn't conflict with anything.
So there's no excuse about getting it merged.

The problem will be back-porting it to stable kernels, because I think
it's had to be updated at least a couple of times.  I don't have the old
versions anymore, so I'm just going to say "not my problem" - sorry.
