I know.

But we are working off the common subversion tree here, so
its best to accomodate people. Our rule was to support
the last release from kernels.org, its not like we are talking
2.4.18 here.

Look, this is actually up to Roland.
In my humble option, either this checkin should happen after 2.6.11
is out, or add the ifdef and a comment so that when Roland sends the patch
upstream, he'll remember to strip them off.
