I think we should seriously consider these patches for 2.6.16
Isn't it a little too late in the 2.6.16 cycle ? I would have
liked a little more time in -mm. Anyway, it is Linus' call.
I can refresh the patches and submit against latest mainline
if Linus and Andrew want.
If it is making the machine unusable then it is a bug rather than
just poor behaviour, and definitely a regression.
I think this is very good grounds to get into 2.6.16, even if it
does mean pushing the release back.
The other thing that is typically done for regressions like these
close to release time is to revert the offending changes. I figure
that in this case, such an option is probably _more_ risky.
