What if two different drivers patched smp_ops and got unloaded in a different order? Perhaps the core support code for Hyper-V should define its own smp_ops. I don't want to stop this going into stable, but seriously, please clean this up. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
