At least another person did post results: http://mid.gmane.org/20110117094602.GA2622@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mid.gmane.org/20110117110308.GC2622@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > That means omap2plus_defconfig .38 mainline kernels > (including -stable) will remain potentially dangerous when run on > SMP capable hardware. I must admit that this series looks a bit large for stable IMHO. I think that the fix for stable should limit itself only to prevent SMP from being selected if anything else than CPU_32v6K is selected. This looks perfectly reasonable for 2.6.38-rc to me though.
