OK I've run with these for a few days and they are doing the Job perfectly. Not a single problem.
You may add tested-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> on all patches if you'd like.
Please push them ASAP to Linus. They fix a real life breakage that's there since v3.3. At least now we are back to the problems that where there for a long time.
Please also CC: Stable Tree <stable@kernel.org> for 3.4 as clearly 3.4 is unusable at all right now.
I wish they would be sent to older stables as well, but they won't patch, so it's not worth the effort.

I suspect this was always so since forever. I don't even know how to configure such a thing. I know that the console I run vmlinux from becomes tty0, until I halt (or crash). How do you open more tty(s) and attach them to console windows? I just use ssh for that.
(The setup of tty(s) for UML on Fedora is always such a pain and it changed 4 times since FC10, I always have to mount the image, figure out how to make tty1 a tty0, and delete all the other tty(s). perhaps I'm just clueless. Is there an easier way? Is there a way to tell UML to make tty0 be a tty1? Because in fedora tty0 is not defined.)
But please do not delay these patches because of old problems. These can be solved later.
Thanks very much for fixing this, it's a life saver Boaz
