I've been thinking that we could do with a CONFIG_RC_KERNEL or something which gets turned on up until -rc4 or so, then gets turned off. So we can make the devel kernels more debugging-friendly. The main problem would be remembering to turn the dang thing off and on at the right times. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
