Unfortunately, users report this doesn't seem to fix things for them
(built against 2.6.36 (plus another patch you wrote iirc.))

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630464#c27

I tried reverting the TTY patches between 2.6.36 and 2.6.35 and getting
them to test that, and it seems ok:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630464#c30

So I guess there must be a race here somewhere... I'll keep looking. :/

I would imagine it's something that's probably existed since the dawn of
time but the BKL has just papered over entirely.

Thanks for trying!
