severity 611456 important Why downgrading this bug report to a wishlist? Due to lack of support for multiple cores?? Take a look at the output of x86info for a GNU/Linux box with dual cores, especially the last lines! This bug is important due to the support of a new architecture and a patch and from what I've learned regarding severity levels it is important! Prove me wrong and I'll concur.
