Sounds good. It seems the work is already done. But all I found is the patch itself. No clue as to what version of kernel it is, and no other info besides those in the config comments. Anyone has a clue on that or should I just email the author? And what about stability? Anyone has this patch running in production machines?
This is one particular patch I think should really go mainstream. What's the Voice of the People?
