Hi Kirk,

I've sent a patch to fix this here:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10682937/

but it was recommended we take a different approach that I wasn't able to
get working in time for 3.1. So you might need to make use of the
posted patch in the meantime. The final fix should go in shortly after
the 3.1 release next week.
