I don't know. But it's somewhat funny that the problem somewhere disappeared
between 4.6.2-RELEASE and 4.8-RC. So with a recent -stable box this isn't
really needed, maybe this is the reason why there weren't more complains
about this. I don't know about -current as I do not have a P4 running it.

In sum: I think the PR can be closed (with or without the patch).

Best regards
