Thanks, Anil. I was able to get your patch to work. If anyone is
interested in what I did, please see:

        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693596#c2

An a related note, would there be any interest in cleaning up this patch
and moving it to 2.6.38 as a part of Google Summer of Code?
