Are we still in time to consider Emilio's oneline proposal?
(Emilio: would you mind preparing a suitable patch against dove,
kirkwood, armada370/xp, so we can see the real thing?).

Sebastian fix works perfect, and it easy to understand. However, it has
quite a large diffstat. When compared to Emilio's oneline proposal, it
seems to me it would be preferable, unless it's broken.

Workaround or not, the fact is this code will be in v3.14, so maybe we
can spend some time considering a cleaner option.

Or is this just rubbish?
