I'll consider this patch, but I can't guarantee it to get in. The reason
being that it modifies stock code, and we are trying to avoid that where
possible.

The main question I have is if this patch is as useful as it claims (and
it seems that it is), why isn't it merged with upstream kernel? As much
as it is a pain for users to have to get this themselves, it is also a
pain for distro maintainers to support external patches like this just
to have happy users.

I strongly suggest talking to the linux-phc maintainers and try to get
them to push this stuff upstream so more people can benefit. It helps
only a handful of people to have this patch external to the kernel. It
would help everyone to have it in mainline.

** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.19 (Ubuntu)
