I strongly agree.
There are two huge reasons I develop and debug drivers solely in 2.6
now: kksymoops and irqdebug. Both have helped a great deal in tracking
down problems. Indeed, screaming irqs that lead to lockups are
instantly detected in 2.6.
But hey... I'm just a developer. Who can say whether it should be on by
default?
