Thanks, it's reasonably nice. The task of hitting all those cpumask_t users is big, and I don't think we can do it in one hit.

Not yet. Committing untested patches into git is the enemy of bisection; if one of my patches breaks an architecture, they lose the ability to bisect until its fixed. If it's a series of patches, we can go back and fix it.
Now, once it's been tested a little, it's better for you to git-ize it and I'll send you patches instead. But I want some more people banging on it, and a run through linux-next first...
If Mike's happy to work on these as a basis, we should be able to get there soon; the patches are sitting in my tree at http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/kernel/ (see rr-latest symlink).
Thanks, Rusty. PS. To emphasize, I haven't actually *booted* this kernel. My test machines are still in transit as I move (and ADSL not connected yet... Grr...)
