I was surprised to find it in, after I had written

============

For the time being, although I do not object to the patch,
obviously, since it is my own, I cannot see any reason to
add it to the "fixed" release.
============

but maybe including it was done by mistake?
It wasn't mentioned, I think, in the changelog.

There was a report that it fixed an oops,
but the report is unconfirmed and ununderstood.

Should it be backed out of 2.6.11.8? Possibly - but if it will be
part of 2.6.12 or 2.6.13 then I would be inclined to leave it.

Andrew asks whether it should be removed from -mm.
Will first read all my mail and then reply to that letter.
Maybe you should coordinate with Andrew and take the same decision.
