Have these patches been submitted for review for inclusion into the main kernel?
I'm still running the old IO-APIC patch (Uptime 3d 20h) and having no issues whatsoever.
Are all of the patches at that address you provide necessary?
What do the IDE ones claim to fix? I have had no real issue with IDE at all.. being able to burn CDs, DVDs, use my ATA133 drive for hdparm, greps, compilation, and general use.....
