Is there any particular userspace tool that would need some updating, or is adding the sysfs knobs sufficient here?

Okay, so I believe the "only tested with 500ms" was in reference to testing with Uwe's initial patch. I do have supporting evidence in a bugzilla report that shows upwards of 5000ms still experience the problem here. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@redhat.com
