    Linux's MAINTAINERS says this:
    
            P: Person (obsolete)
    
    The code seems to be doing some kind of indirection.  I suggest we
    drop it.  At the very least, we should not make any more copies of
    this!
    
I suppose I can take both instances out, given that we don't support "P", when 
I re-roll the patch and see whether everything works as expected.
