I don't think this is a great candidate for patches/.  Good things there
are bits that are ready to go upstream or fixes to base Linux that are
transient by version (backport of a fix that's in the -rc for the next
kernel or somesuch).

Heh, tht just depends on when you add the filesystem ;-)

In general, I completely agree, just not so much on this particular
patch.
