I am not one of the 12 people in the world with a NUMA-Q, but I would
not like to see you disable kernel preemption.
I would really like to see it work on every architecture in every
configuration. Is it that hard to make the requisite changes to fix it
up?
If nothing else, I think you guys can _infinitely_ benefit from the
atomicity checking infrastructure that is now in place.
Besides, why screw yourself over from the day when preemption is a
requirement? </semi-kidding> ;-)
just my two bits,
Robert Love
