The second part of the patch is similar to the one I sent to Dave
earlier for testing (it worked for him, so I just now posted to LKML).
The advantage of my approach is that it retains the pair of disabled
sections, rather than merging them as yours does.

That said, as near as I can tell, your patch should work.

Thanx, Paul
