I think I'm going to push back on this one since Linus wants to limit
patches to stuff that affects (relatively) large number of folks, and
I don't think there are more than a handful of >256 node systems out
there (in fact, I've heard only of one). Otherwise, I'm OK with the
patch, so we should include it in 2.6.1. Please retransmit after
2.6.1 is out.
Ditto for Jack's patch.
OK?
