I had sent it to Marcelo back in December for 2.4.17-rc2, but he said
it was pending for 2.4.18pre instead. Yesterday Kevin pinged me and
asked "when was I going to send it in". I guess Marcelo lost the
patch. So I re-sent it to him, and asked Kevin to ping me again if the
next 2.4.18-pre patch doesn't contain it, in which case I'll roll it
into my next devfs patch, so that it doesn't get dropped again.
