I very much doubt, I'd expect this to work, but it really should be a config option if you don't open 2.7. This is the kind of thing that cannot happen in a 2.6.* release without a config option to leave off in production IMHO since it can have implications well outside the mainline kernel (every driver outside the kernel would be affected too). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
