Nice. I had not realized that bug fix had made it into v2.6.32-rc7.
I will look at merging that to remove the conflict.

I looked at cherry-picking the commit earlier when I saw it in the netdev
tree and my experiment failed. So I think the only resolution that works
in this case is merging it so the whole history is there.
