Alan,
Again, not sure if you are getting these reports (my mail to you is
bouncing), but 2.2.18pre15 is still insisting that I have a ps/2 mouse
connected to my machine (it uses a serial mouseman on COM2).
The sluggishness and missed button-down events are no longer present,
though.

Your point is taken to a certain extent.
Its true that the files here are not necessarily going to be laid our
sequentially on disk.
However, they will be laid out far enough apart to cause some seeking
which will put load on the elevator.
And even if this program isn't putting incredible stress

Unless you have a special bay that tri-states the buss or a host that does
it for the requested channel (yes that disables both devices) you can do
this once per mainboard.
There was a proposal for tri-stating the buss, but that was held for 2.5.
There is a partial reset IOCTL in 2.4, but it

Hello Richard,
Part of your analysis is correct. The hooks were designed to take care of
static tracepoints only. That said, dynamic allocation of event IDs was
next on my list and the hooking mechanism would have been modified consequently.
As for "multiple exits registered per hook", if you

2.4 got broken.
In case you have not read, the backport is suspended for now.
So you can not have you UltraDMA in 2.2 if you wanted.
Instead of bitching about the problem, way not attempt to narrow the scope
where you think is was broken.
