That's crazy, but makes sense in an odd way :)

And it explains why my "fix up of the patch" also breaks things, both
patches need to be reverted in the stable trees.  Do you need me to make
a patch to revert this in Linus's tree now, or can you do that?  Just
asking for an existing commit to be reverted is usually a bit harder as
that's not most maintainer's workflow (I know it's not mine.)
