I agree that we are deadlocked.  However, I think we should continue
to try to get Linus to accept Kieth's patch, at least until he gives
us a solid reason for rejecting the patch.

My only conjecture is that he simply thinks hotplugging is "new"
functionality that is not in active use, and that, therefore, fixing 
it should wait until the 2.4.0 series leaves "bugfix mode."

If any of you have enough leverage with Linus to get him to tell us 
why the patch hasn't been included, please do so.

Thanks,
	Miles
