No this patch is from a real fix. You can read the details at
https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-3882. I bet he did this to avoid
the pickiness of gcc. We have build failure due to gcc stupidity. I could
be wrong which if that is the case the original Author is CC.

This is a direct drop of the original patch. I see lots of corrections to the
code below. Would a new follow on patch to correct these issues be okay
with you. This way we can perverse our bug fix history.
