Sure, my intention was to provide some appropriate text.

Sorry, there may have been a miscommunication here - this should only
*need* to go to 2.6.27 since the bulk registration functions are more
careful about checking error values than the hand rolled loops tended to
be.  For earlier kernels people will either not notice or have already
have local patches so the bugs are not quite so serious.

Obviously, it'd be good to fix for the earlier kernels but it's not
clear it is critical enough for them.
