Thanks for tracking the commit down. I've tried it today but your config
has everything as modules and that didn't work out very well with my
netboot setup. I'll dig a bit more tomorrow.

It's probably my fault for not properly getting the time to test Tejun
patches... oh well, that's what being too busy does to you.

Cheers,
Ben.
