I don't think there's a problem with 2.6.26 either way.  I agree that the
user_regset internal API does not matter much before 2.6.27.

My patch alone applies to 2.6.25, which is why I CC'd it to stable.
I think applying that (and not takada's patch) to stable-2.6.25
would be best.


Thanks,
Roland
