Looks good, applied it to tip:core/printk for v2.6.32, thanks Robin.

i fixed a couple of small details in the patch:

- re-broke the commit log as it was too wide for nice git log
output

- fixed a stray whitespace warned about by scripts/checkpatch.pl

- fixed another stray whitespace found the old fashioned way

- fixed the patch title to match the prefix used by your previous
commit as well

Ingo
