Finished. On amd64 not everything is supported like on i386, the catchup is planned for later when the remaining bugs in the new functions are fixed. To test this new stuff, you have to run sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to switch back use sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 Don't switch while running a linux program, strange things may or may not happen. Some reviews are already flowing in which point out some deficiencies in the 2.6.16 case. The default case (2.4.2 as before the commits) isn't affected.
