I think that's all the items on my hotlist. Except ( unrelated to
Alan ) I still do not like the fact that a 'flags 0x40' must be specified
for the ppc to disable the extra probes that cause people's machines to
crash. Even though the flag is set in GENERIC, there will be a lot of
people upgrading who have their own custom kernels and will almost
certainly forget to add the flag. I would much prefer if the *default*
were to disable the extra probes and the flag enabled them.
I just don't see the point of intentionally destroying backwards
compatibility ( especially when it could lockup someone's machine ) when
it is so easy to simply reverse the sense of the flag.
