I started working on it but got distracted with 2.4.18.  To be honest,
2.5 is just no fun with that thread_info brokenness.  I still expect
to have a patch sometime next week, however.

You might want to take a look how we did it on m68k
<http://linux-m68k-cvs.apia.dhs.org>.  A little bit of joined force
should make it easier to get it fixed. :-)

Perhaps we should all just be sending paper bags to Linus for
not just accepting such a patch, but actually *suggesting* it.

I'd be all in favor of a there-is-more-than-x86 lobby group! ;-)
