Actually this is a good example of how to NOT maintain a kernel module.
It is also a good example of how the bugzilla.redhat.com sometimes has
absolutely NO benefit.
The bug report was initially ignored, then someone benevolent remembered
to warn developers.
After the intervention of the maintainer, module has reached even worse
condition.
I got the impression that some developers do NOT listen to what users
are saying, at all.
Why do people do anything without energy and time to do so.
However,
I'm not the only one hit this bug.
