    Yeah sorry. They're queued up in a special branch atm, but will be
    part of my initial 2.6.37 merge request pull. They're not going into
    2.6.36 because they're a bit too invasive for this late in the process.

    I don't *think* they'll cause problems (ultimately they should make us
    behave a bit more like Windows as far as resource allocation goes) so
    hopefully a merge into stable sometime after the 2.6.37 merge window
    closes won't be a problem, but you probably don't have a nice way of
    automating that...

    Thanks,
