I just posted a patch to that BZ. I have it here below too. Could you
see if it fixes you problem. I only fixed the one place that you
reported, it may need more fixes (and in that case a macro to do the
work).

I hit the same bug on my ppc64 box, and have a fix for that, that I'll
post to LKML tomorrow.
