Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
make it clear).
Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of

Currently the rtc driver, rtc-ds1742.c uses an unsigned long to store
the base mmio address of the NVRAM/RTC. This breaks on systems like
PowerPC 440, which is a 32-bit core with 36-bit physical addresses: IO
on the system, including the RTC, is typically above the 4GB point,
and cannot fit into a

Due to historical reasons, struct kobject contained a static array for
the name, and a dynamic pointer in case the name got bigger than the
array. That's just dumb, as people didn't always know which variable to
reference, even with the accessor for the kobject name.

I've been trying to follow your mails about CFS since your review posted
on Aug 1st. Back to that date, I was thinking "cool, an in-depth review
by someone who understands schedulers and mathematics very well, we'll
quickly have a very solid design".
On Aug 10th, I was disappointed to see
