I don't know if what I will say is orthogonal to the discussion that you're
having, but I noticed one thing: when using a 2.6 kernel (2.6.11 vanilla
here), I can't format a floppy with, say, superformat (from the fdutils

After I try to use superformat with /dev/fd0, I get messages tellin

Hi Folks,
I was wondering what was the best/cleanest (and SMP-safe) way to grab
an interrupt ? swim3 currently uses local_irq_enable, but from past
discussions on the list, it did not sound like it was SMP safe. All
of the other local_irq_ code seems to be easily enough bracketed off
