Yes, sorry, as I mentioned I wasn't aware of the correct thing to do.  And
as you've mentioned, a lot of this has been under pressure because 2.6.27
will be the kernel that the distros use when this system comes online.  So
time is the one thing we (SGI) do not have.  That's not to say that doing it
wrong is ok, it's just that sometimes what I might think is trivial (ie.,
builds and functions correctly) might not be to others, and I welcome comments,
suggestions, reviews, criticism, ideas, whatever.  As I've mentioned I am
new to this "arena" of development.

And again, thanks for the comments and feedback, it has been an enlightening
10 months. ;-)

Mike
