What would cause a regression on beagleboard XM?  I have not suggested
any change other than more investigation of the issue and a fuller patch
description - yet you're screaming (idiotically IMHO) that mere
investigation would break beagleboard.

Well, if it's _that_ fragile, that mere investigation of this issue by
someone elsewhere on the planet would break your beagleboard, maybe it
deserves to be broken!
