For 10 and 9.6, we need a slightly different patch as the change of
group clog update went in 11. Attached are the patches for the same,
note that there is a slight change in the commit message for the patch
written for 10 and 9.6. I will wait for a few days (till Tuesday@8:00
AM IST) to see if somebody has any comments or want to review before I
push.
