(The NMI watchdog bug [which is off by default] was fixed quickly. The C1E bug was found and fixed quickly. Anything else i missed?) > hm, well, I hope you and Thomas are on the same page regarding > precisely what the remaining issues are. i'd like to see the 64-bit clockevents (& dynticks) patches merged. Demand from users and distros is high: the 64-bit CE patches are merged into the Fedora 8 and Ubuntu kernels already, it's been in -mm and in -rt too for a long time and powertop users demand it as well. It also makes it obviously easier to unify the 64-bit and 32-bit code. So there's multiple good reasons to do it.
