    Unfortunately (or fortunately?) you can't really get from my patch to
    Con's in small simple steps, its basically one or the other. I'd like
    to see my patch get included in 2.6, but I'm yet to convince many others.
    Con is further along that road, so my only possibility for wider testing
    is to try free up mm kernels for possible use ;) (if Andrew will have
    them of course). Getting Con's patch more testing wouldn't hurt
    anyone though, of course.
