It does not contain this fix, and it is going to take a little while
to merge pre8, Linus has been busy rewriting things.....

In general I do not put generic linux fixes into the tree unless they are
central to the code (i.e. core kernel build failures etc). I know this
makes using XFS a bit more of a pain for some people, but I want to
keep the tree as clean as possible.
