This change seems rather unlikely for 2.6.24 at this point (high risk), but could be good for 2.6.25. One thing it should probably have for the early going, is a simple way to turn it on/off at boot time, so that we don't have people "stuck" unable to run the test kernels should something weird happen. Alan / David / Ingo, What do you think of the idea of a *temporary* boot flag for this, something like port80=on/off (pick a suitable name) ?
