Also, Thomas pointed out that the entire fix might be too large for this
late in the -rc cycle.

Thus we may want to merge only the first two patches as the "simple fix"
which will avoid the major problems seen for 3.5, and then leave the
last four patches, which really enforce correctness, for 3.6 merge
window (backporting variants to -stable).

But I'll leave that to Thomas/Ingo/Linus to decide.
