An FYI on the state of things here: in the last month, John has updated a
number of device drivers to be MPSAFE, and the USB work remains in-flight.
I'm holding fire a bit on disabling IFF_NEEDSGIANT while things settle and
I catch up on driver state, and will likely send out an update next week
regarding which device drivers remain on the kill list, and generally what
the status of this project is.
Here's the revised list of drivers that will have their build disabled in
the next week (subject to an appropriate block of time for me):
A quick update: I had postponed removing IFF_NEEDSGIANT while awaiting the
apparently forthcoming USB stack commit. Since it appears slow in coming, I
will move ahead and disconnect non-USB drivers that require IFF_NEEDSGIANT in
the coming week, but will leave the IFF_NEEDSGIANT infrastructure there, along
with the current USB drivers that depend on it, until the USB merge is done.
