It seems to me that running Linux on such a large machine is such a
specialized niche, the putting in your change to the regular kernel
isn't a near term need either. And from the sounds of it, Tejun's
work has better long term potential.

But hey, I'm generally clueless, so take what I say with a grain of
salt. :]
