Hey, give us some credit; at least it's disabled by default ;-)

But yeah, I'll continue to improve it and hopefully get it in better
shape for next time, especially with regards to SMP support. Maybe we
can finally have Andrew's review too, if he's not too busy giving all
these talks and whatnot. Some of the things we've actually fixed up
since last time include impact on the slab code,
CodingStyle/checkpatch issues, and the splitting the huge single file
of code into its own directory to make it more manageable. Oh, and I
believe 64-bit support is new as well.

Thanks,


Vegard
