It appears to be already backported to stable-2.6 (builds fine here
against 3.18.10).

I'd very much like to do a release, but I'm currently awaiting
feedback from Debian about an incompatible change they slipped
into their 3.16.7-ckt9-2 distro kernel, for which I don't have the info
to distinguish between upstream 3.16.7 and Debian 3.16.7.

Once we get this resolved, I'll look into doing a release.

Thanks!
