Thank you for this patch and thank you for the explanations.

I wasn't able to find a posting of this patch before the last posting
date for 4.13 of the 13th of September.  Have I missed it ?  We might
be able to justify a freeze exception on the grounds that this change
affects only vkb users but it would be a matter for the RM (CC'd).


I would like to change the "linux" to "pv" or something else, for
4.13, at least.

Ian.
