I don't know. I don't think any problems we've seen recently
can be attributed to caching issues. The most stable kernel
so far seems to be 2.6.13-pa1. But I expect as 2.6.15 gets
more exposure on Debian we'll know if that is better and if
it has any remaining caching issues.

The upside of pa8900 being the last one is we won't have
to update the HWDB much more. :(

I'd like to add, the HWDB maintainer doesn't need to be a linux hacker.
If someone from *BSD or HP-UX community wants to maintain it, I
certainly won't object.

thanks,
