I am fishing for some information on; if it is the disk-drives, the

to have noticed?
What worries me the most, is corner-cases on network, blocking multiple
cpu's.
Isn't the functionality conditional and selected at configure time? I
wouldn't be too worried about it. It also forces broken drivers to be
fixed which is only a good thing. This is a bit similar to the situation
when kernel pre-emption was introduced.
Yes, but the pathces are introduced and applied a bit at the time for
each official kernel version. At 2.6.19 we can read mingo's own comment
over at slashdot that 'now 50% has gone in'. Friend of order would like
to what half of which is accepted and why.
Can you post a link to the story? A quick search didn't find it here..
