Besides - we're missing too many register values from the kernel side to even be able to perform a migration.

I'm thinking stability and basic functionality and your running around
adding features (or new archs, depending on mood). But I agree, this
can wait until after SMP.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
