I actually found the problem in linux-next sometime ago, and I swear I
posted this patch but clearly I didn't.

linux-next is a great tool but even linux-next doesn't test all the
defconfigs in the kernel and therefore misses some code.

I'll talk to Stephen about adding something that will run over this
code.
