I don't know why we're constantly back into this same loop on this
topic but that's not the problem we've been seeing. There are no
other CPUs involved.
It's great that Steven's patches solve a good number of problems. It
is also true that there's a class of problems that it doesn't solve,
which other approaches do. The productive thing to do here is trying
to solve the unsolved one too, especially given that it doesn't seem
too difficuilt to do so on top of what's proposed.
Thanks.
