Mike,

	Please ignore this patch. I still run into corruption even after
	this patch.  I am looking into the issue. Will have a more
	comprehensive fix.

	BTW: it has always been broken AFAICT. I find the issue even
	with lzo software compression. So may be I am doing something
	wrong in my driver, or there is more fundamental issue. Will dig
	this further.
