It's been a while since we discussed these patches, but Steven Rostedt
just tripped over the same problem and the patches work for
him, so he says "Tested-by: Steven Rostedt [off-list ref]".

Can we get the patches into linux-3.6 please?

Yes please.

Right now I have my ktest.pl setup adding these patches before running
tests. I really dislike having to modify a kernel that I'm testing,
because I'm not really testing that said kernel, but a modified version
of it.

Guys I am glad you're finding the patches useful; I've been using them 
in the Linaro TI Lnding Team trees ever since.

I adapted them a bit to live mainly in devices.c, tomorrow I'll send 
this version cleaned up and we can deal with any further changes needed 
hopefully quickly.
