I *think* it's only ia32 NUMA boxes, at least as far as I can see from
a quick poke around. Which would make me guess at scheduler code. Gitweb
would be nice to use, but it doesn't tag the -git snapshots, AFAICS,
which is a real shame. Nor does the git snapshot include the git tag,
as far as I know. Grrrr. I guess I'll download the snapshots and diff
them, and try to pull out the sched changes by hand. Much suckage.
The diffstat for 2.6.15-git5 -> 2.6.15-git6 is at
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/2 - only a single line
changed in sched.c:

Hmm. whilst it's probably not that call, it does look like mutex
debugging. Look at the profiles from reaim between -git5 and -git6:
before:

after:

depends on DEBUG_KERNEL

This allows mutex semantics violations and mutex related deadlocks
(lockups) to be detected and reported automatically.

Hmmm. Who the hell thought defaulting that to 'y' was a good plan????
It's still broken in 17-rc1 ... will send you a patch in a sec.

PS. Jeff Garzik pointed out there *are* git tags for each -git snapshot
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.17-rc1-git11.id
which is really helpful.
