Thank you! I knew there might be a more efficient way to do that, so
I'm glad I sent that to LKML for you to see ;-)

Still, I think it should be added into the documentation somewhere...
I'd be happy to submit a patch, I just don't know where it should go.
Obviously, this is specific to -mm kernels only. Do you know?
