Hi,
I noticed the following change in the test9pre9 and doubt if it is
correct. Especially as Alan Cox rejected *identical* change for 2.2
arguing that in may break some architectures with non-byte based memory
addressing (especially ARM).

Could anybody confirm whether the above patch is correct or errorneus ?
