Hi!

I suspect original e-mail had bad timing, all important people were busy
preparing/flying to OLS ;-)
So, here is another try...

These patches add new debugging option under "Kernel hacking|Kernel debugging".
This option enables rate-limited warning print out when consistent_sync is
called with unaligned buffer.

Patch against 2.4:
http://kernel.ebshome.net/consistent_sync_debug-2.4.diff

Patch against 2.6
http://kernel.ebshome.net/consistent_sync_debug-2.6.diff

Comments/suggestions :)

Eugene.
