I just tested on my quad powermac that also runs a stock Debian/unstable
and changing that option makes all the difference. Nevermind that it
defaults to yes and one needs to turn it off explicitly...

I am not deep enough in the sysfs code to tell you if Mark's change it
correct or not. It looks however fully reasonable to me. From the higher
level perspective of the device_move() usage the RFCOMM code looks
correct and has been tested before I submitted it for inclusion.

Marcel

We seem to have broken an unusually large amount of stuff this time.

partial post-mortem:

- The ACPICA merge landed in -mm super-late: basically it was in mainline
  a week afterwards and saw only a single -mm release.

  Part of the reason for this short period in -mm was that ACPICA had its
  paws all over x86_64 code and conflicted badly with significant changes
  in the x86_64 tree.

  That happens sometimes.  But when it does, the mess lands in my lap
  rather than in the laps of the perpetrators.

  Lesson: keep the code well-factored so that different subsystems don't
  soil each others' kennels.

- The hrtimers/dynticks stuff is simply hard: timekeeping, low-level x86,
  even APICs.  These are areas in which things break a lot, so churning it
  was inevitably going to cause problems.

  Lesson: none, I think.  Low-level x86 support is just hard, and
  changing it breaks things.


So that accounts for _some_ of the damage, but I wonder if there's more to
it than that.

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.21-rc2 compared to 2.6.20
that are not yet fixed in Linus' tree.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you caused a breakage or I'm considering you in any other way 
possibly involved with one or more of these issues.

Due to the huge amount of recipients, please trim the Cc when answering.
