I posted a patch for this mid-September. (Actually, I posted two.
The first one was basically identical to davej's, and Christoph
disliked it... :-)

I had hoped that it would get mainlined well before the b44 patch,
but apparently it fell through the cracks. The patch still applies,
so I'll follow-up with it after this message.
