the corporate rationale behind it and the running order of urgency?
I am fishing for some information on; if it is the disk-drives, the
network drivers, the usb stack or something else that I am too ignorant
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.
