It's probably easier at this point in time to just revert that commit,
leave the stable kernels alone, and then everything will be fixed in
3.9. When the commits go into Linus's tree, we can backport everything
to the stable releases (including 3.8.1) at that point.

As long as someone remembers to send the needed information to
stable@vger.kernel.org, I know I'll forget :)

Sound ok?
