I have cleaned up some bugs, and will be posting them again later on this week. My biggest problem officially committing the mods will be that I have no SMP P5 system (nor do I want one :-)). It will take a little bit of code review to make sure that the code is P5 safe (I made some stupid assumptions in my mods that the code is running on P6 machines.) I believe that there are a few more bugs (even beyond my very stable code -- there was a severe MI bug in my patches.) This SMP stuff is trickier than VM by far :-)... At least I am learning enough about the SMP architecture to know where we are, and know that it isn't precisely where we want to be :-).
