I will be asking the x86 and amd64 arch teams to mark the latest
revision of gentoo-sources-2.6.19 stable in 1 weeks time (Jan 14th).
This is a 1 week advance warning to maintainers of external kernel
modules which are still broken in the stable tree -- fix them, or file
new bugs asking for newer versions to go stable and block #156669
Actually, 1 week is the best-case scenario, since we have a couple of
minor regressions which need fixing. Additional pressure comes from the
mmap shared page corruption fix, a significant bug which has existed for
at least 3 years. Unfortunately the fix has not been backported to older
kernels and it's not clear how to do so.
