Thanks, I queued this for 2.6.21.  I think the tradeoff between risk
and return is not a good one for 2.6.20 -- I'm irrationally afraid
this is going to break the user-kernel ABI in some screwy case, and I
think the impact of the problem itself is not that great (annoying
kernel messages for the tiny group of people sending RMPP messages
from userspace on ia64).
