Any chance this can be applied to stable 2.6.26.x?
Half of my agenda was selfish (to be sure future kernels would not
hang on my 2 home servers), but the other half was to ensure that
Debian would not have hanging kernels in their next stable release.
Thanks again for all the hard work,

it's a backport candidate, but i think we should wait a bit with that,
until after .27-rc5 or -rc6, to make sure there are no side-effects.
The upstream commit is:
