Unfortunately (or fortunately?) you can't really get from my patch to Con's in small simple steps, its basically one or the other. I'd like to see my patch get included in 2.6, but I'm yet to convince many others. Con is further along that road, so my only possibility for wider testing is to try free up mm kernels for possible use ;) (if Andrew will have them of course). Getting Con's patch more testing wouldn't hurt anyone though, of course.
