Much better, thanks, but the tabs all seem to have been removed from
this patch, making it impossible to apply.

Also, I need a "clean" patch, against the 3.1 tree at the least, in
order to be able to apply this, not against a previous version of your
patch.

Also, run your patch through the scripts/checkpatch.pl script to ensure
it is correct before sending it out.

Care to fix this up and resend so that I can apply this?

thanks,
