Hi Eric,
That based patchset was post days before the OLS....
I have a much crash path simplified patch set posted a few days before.
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/linux-ia64/0608/18790.html
I agree that we should have minmal code in crash path.
I am trying to simplify that patch set more.
Thanks
Zou Nan hai
