Processor affinity planned for 2.5?

HI all I received and discussed Processor-affinity on the SMP-Kernel-list and I only wanted to ask if there is something in preparation or if someone (especially Linus :)) is against this ... I was asked this question beacause someone wanted to do some Matrix-Operations on his SMP machine and

Kernel 2.4.2 hang on alpha

Hi all! Since I upgraded my Alpha-Server (digital alpha/ 21164A 366 MHz, system type alcor, 128 MB RAM) to Kernel version 2.4.2 (from 2.4.0) (2.4 gives it a real performance boost, well done!), i notice system freezes. They happened four times during the last 2 days and i think it happens when a
