I'm not opposed to the revert, though.  We don't yet have a fix for
the issue caused by the original patch, and Paolo is being
conservative in keeping the older bug around for 2.1, rather than
trading it for unknown bugs at this stage.

The investigation for the bug is proceeding, though, and we may get a
fix soon.  If it turns out to be well-contained, we could also look at
backporting all the fixes to -stable, if it helps.
