 starvation


A couple problems remaining in this patch set:

1) Too many bug fixes for this late in the -rc series of 2.6.35
   Pick a smaller number of fixes, the most critical ones, perhaps
   2 or 3, and re-submit those for net-2.6

   Pick the ones that produce easily triggers crashes or documented
   regressions present on the official lkml regression list.

   Send the rest in for net-next-2.6

2) Bumping the driver version every patch in a patch series is pointless.
   Do the bump once, at the end of the series.

Thanks.
