Please explain your statement "before the feature hit mainline in
v2.6.16" in the above sentence of you in a reasonable way other than
that it should say I knew about it before the feature hit mainline.

Perhaps for you.
For me it's not irrelevant what I'm publically being accused of.
And it's not the first time in the thread that you use things that are
objectively not true in accusations against me.

I found the bug.
I repeatedly told about this bug on linux-kernel.
I explained to you who claimed just yesterday "my experience was that
it had effects." why it couldn't have possibly worked (no matter why
your experience was differently).
And now you start big flames against me why I hadn't stated more boldly
that this patch never worked.
Not against Arjan who seems to have sent a patch that never worked.
Not against Harvey who independently spotted the same bug.
Not against the people who didn't care when I said on linux-kernel that
it didn't work (one of the threads even had CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING in
the subject).
Thanks a lot, Mr. Molnar.
