I think they rely on the lock_kernel stuff - which Id prefer not to take out to be honest. There is just a little too much vm related lock_kernel stuff left to do that - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
