No, I didn't. We're in 2.5.x timeline and doing early testing (esp. with "exotic" or rarely used features) is IMHO best done at early times. THis is why I did it. For now, I don't exactly care for pure stability _if_ a user can easily choose really dangerous code, esp. if it's advised as experimental, but "you should say yes" in it's help text. This is, I like to compile with many features to see where it breaks. Not doing this means to walk through a mines field later, at 2.6.x times. That is playing minesweeper with some poor end user. No good... MfG, JBG Btw., that patch got merged to Linus and I'm currently running 2.5.73-bk6 with TF and TCQ enabled (in config, but gets somewhat disabled because of missing hardware of too many drives per channel) on a laptop and my (quite a bit loaded) mirror box.
