Does this mean you disagree with that? (I think it's pretty factual, last i 
checked the usage stats of devel kernels was somewhere around 99.7%.)

In any case, i dont dispute that LMB is a bit cleaner than kernel/early_res.c 
- and both are much cleaner than the new e820 kernel/fw_memmap.c code posted 
here by Yinghai.

If you dont disagree then please spare me the insults. (or move me into your 
killfile)

Thanks,

	Ingo
