Which drivers do that? Ok, I know the ATI 3d driver does, but if that crashes the users know who is to blame. No, I don't think we should merge a potentially data corrupting "first step.". Even first steps have to meet some standards. > Of course there is no problem for that being dependant on a CONFIG_PAT.
