=2E.. and yet you're perfectly happy to add the complexity of sticking half=

I think virtually everything is relevant to you. A couple of possible=20
exceptions might be (1) freezing bdevs, because you don't care so much=20
about making xfs really sync and really stop it's activity and (2) the=20
ability to thaw kernel space without thawing userspace. I want this for=20
eating memory, to avoid deadlocking against kjournald etc. I haven't=20
checked carefully as to why you don't need it in vanilla.
