Still, I do have brown-paper-bag experiences caused by wrong assumptions like "this cannot fail". And we are changing the way interrupts are acquired. So, if it is not too hard, I'd prefer to have patches tested, too. I'd still apply the patch if it turns out to be too complicated to test (given the reviews raise the trust). Yet, also on the pro-side, it doesn't hurt to test a newer kernel on a packed-away system once in a while. Thanks for the reviews!
