Get back to me when these patches are _really_ upstream. And that means
when I can get them from Linus' repository. Reverting some SAUCE crack
(that seems to be working) for some other crack that isn't upstream
doesn't seem like a good way to maintain stability, especially when the
patch set doesn't even improve on existing functionality.

I'm comfortable that these patches are making their way upstream, so
lets not rush it. They ought to be there in plenty of time for 14.10.
