post to this list?  sure, if that's the right place.  the only reason i'm
obsessed about that little fix as opposed to all the others that are going
in is that, WRT the most recent BK pull from
http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc-2.5, that's the *only* thing that
keeps the kernel from compiling, and letting me build that a kernel that,
while it loads and runs, admittedly still blows up upon starting init.

while i realize that the current kernel still has user land problems, it
seems a shame to not at least fix the single minor thing that prevents a
simple build.
