This kernel has been built and run on a small set of machines, SMP
and UP. Testers are encouraged to exercise the features especially on
large SMP and NUMA architectures. If a problem is found, please
compare the result with a standard 2.5.44 kernel. Please report any
problems or successes to the mailing list.

Developers are encouraged to send any enhancements or bug fixes
patches. Patches should be tested by using the OSDL Scalable Test
Platform (STP) and Patch Lifecycle Manager (PLM) facilities.
