Ying's patch adding resource allocation time checks is already in: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=34ddeb035d704eafdcdb3cbc781894300136c3c4 This addresses the log message flood issue. My own patch with one BIOS bug fixup was accepted by Len Brown and should go into kernel 3.6: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43282#c25 (Not sure which tree this is.) So, as far as I am concerned, the functional issue is solved. From a performance perspective I think we could drop the run-time checks as they are now redundant. -- Jean Delvare
