I'm just including the upstream git commit id and description you've referenced. Unfortunately the kernel is currently frozen for Hardy so this probably won't make it in before Hardy final is released. However, this fix will automatically be available in the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release and this could possibly be considered for the Hardy 8.04.1 point release. I'll reassign to the kernel team for their consideration. Thanks.
