The point's well taken though.  The pnp drivers are still not in good
enough shape to check-in.  I boot a kernel with them as needed to help you
and Luigi buzz out the latest driver update, working toward making them the
standard someday, but I still run the checked-in drivers since they work.

For the SB part, it was getting pretty darn close there around pnp11, and
then I guess you reworked the DMA code (removing auto-DMA or something) and
they haven't been that close again yet.  Since it was the result of a
change you made, you can probably pick out the problem faster than anybody.
