Exactly, the patch is intended for current kernels.  The hint is that
(a) it's a bug fix, (b) it says "fix" in the title, and (c) it has the
stable attributation which says "apply me to previous kernels".

Daniel's response effectively says "no, we're not going to accept the
patch, work on a fix with some development code."

So, unless someone wants to tell me that it's acceptable to develop bug
fixes against Linus' tree _for_ Linus' tree and accept this patch, or
show some other solution that can be applied to Linus' current tree and
backported to stable trees, I'm just not going to bother in future -
someone else can end up doing the work.
