no, it does not work fine. As i said, i reworked various small bits 
along the way of reviewing and integrating them, under the obvious 
assumption that you submitted the latest and greatest. I spent hours 
testing every single step as well. If you cannot get your workflow right 
then we cannot have this stuff in v2.6.28.

So ... please send append-only changes against tip/cpus4096-v2. We can 
squash/backmerge any bits to keep it all clean, but all changes have to 
be fully visible and fully reviewed from now on, because time is running 
short.
