I sent it already to Ani Joshi long time ago (December 2002),
but it seems to be lost somewhere in time.
I noticed that Pawel Goleniowski made the same patch and sent to LKML
in December 2003 and January 2004:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0401.1/0225.html
but it's still not fixed.
The same applies to 2.6.x series, only filename
(linux-2.6.*/drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c instead of .../riva/accel.c)
and whitespace (tabs are used now instead of spaces) differ.

I applied it to the newer Nvidia driver I have. I plan to o stream line in
the next few weeks.
