This was the reason I changed it in the Fedora kernel.
The version of the patch you have was in the fedora kernel for
a while too, I silently fixed it up in the next revision
(as it only hit -testing). Looks like you picked it up before
I fixed it up. Good job someone was paying attention 8)
In future, I'll try and give you a heads up if I change something
like that again without making extra changelog entries.
