We had this patch applied in two of the Ubuntu kernels (based on 3.2
and 3.5) but we decided to revert it due to bug report:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236041

Comment #5 in this bug report refers to another one in sles11
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807471#25) that seems to
confirm this patch isn't correct.

Cheers,
