Right, it can in fact break applications that rely on the previous
(bogus) behaviour. But it can also be claimed that it *will* break
applications anyway with an updated kernel, so backporting it to older
kernels will just allow a consistent behaviour.

Anyway, I'm OK either way. But if you drop the stable tag make sure you
also remove the 'Fixes:' tag as I believe the stable folks will still
pick this patch if it includes a valid SHA1 in it.

Cheers,
