Hi Sander,

sorry, I know you did the ping somewhere in another thread. The one which I
cannot find again right now. :/ Maybe you can forward the following two patches
which would be my backport to 3.18. I hope things are correct. I dropped the
middle patch as it did not seem to be needed and mushed around the other two.
At least things seemed to be fixed up on a quick test-boot.
