To give an example of untested scenarios: Current trunk does not build against 2.6.27 for x86-32 with NMI watchdog enabled (die_nmi gained another argument doe to unification with x86-64). Well, my patch does not change this picture yet (I once tested against 2.6.26 for 32-bit support). Will fix this as well. Jan
