David, We really appreciate you taking time to search through the sources and documentation and suggest improvements. Please start a new email thread for this so that it gets suitable attention. I'm quite certain a lot of us have stopped reading posts on this thread somewhere in the middle as it was around the very specific topic of kernel soft lockups. A new thread will really help for bringing up other subjects for discussion.
