Well, when I asked Alan about it, he said "Doing it in 2.2 is incredibly hard for internal locking reasons"... I'm not ready to tackle that. If you have a patch that does it correctly, submit it to Alan. I'd still like to have the option I submitted as part of 2.2 *shrug*... it's just bringing back functionality that was in earlier versions of Linux as a compile option. (From what I understand, this is similar to something done in the BSDs at some time in the past... but being a young whippersnapper, I don't really know.)
