Crud...there is a one-line fix in here that should have gone to Dave.

Jeff, (assuming Dave ACKs it) would you mind just taking it your
way along with the other posted patches?  Since this is intended for
2.6.24, there should be no great maintenance hardship if it goes to
Linus through your tree instead of Dave's.

Thanks,

John
