The patch looks good but does not apply since the the whitespaces are
corrupted. Can you please resend correct one with a better changelog and
Signed-off-by line? (set you name and email in git, then use git commit
-s and git format-patch -1 and send the result)

Also the mailing list has moved to ltp@lists.linux.it, please use that
one from now on.
