I'm not familiar with how __weak functions work, but reading Tom's
advice and grepping the code leads me to the diff below.  Tom, is this
what you were looking for?

Linus, you've indicated that you didn't want to make this change but
are OK with me taking it over.  In my tree, I've just squashed my
patch into yours.  Would you like me to remove your author and
signed-off-by or would you prefer me to post a fixed up version of
your patch?

Cheers,
Ryan.
