So far I have only seen three persons being really active in fixing the section mismatch bugs. And thats Randy, Adrian and myself. Granted a few other have done some sporadic efforts in their area of interest but nothing covering the tree as a whole. And most isssues are easy fixable - I would estimate less than half an hour in average for the fixes Adrian posted today. There are some tricky corners that are dfficult to deal with but I have not seen these occur in drivers. It is mostly when we mix assembler and C plus some of the core functionality. The hotplug cpu stuff for example look scary and here I may try to road you propose but for the hotplug stuff I think it is worth it.
