The only major breakage that I've seen on it was my own fault and never made it into the tree. The biggest problem that I've had helping people is that the current code is bog stupid when it comes to trying to avoid address/irq/io conflicts and just gives unhelpful, unuseful, annoying error messages for easily fixed problems. I'm hoping that the new bus code will help the base dynamic problems which have been hacked around in many ways. Dynamic IRQs, I/O ranges, devices coming and going really is a hard problem. Also, PnP support will help in device enumeration and hot-plug events. The biggest problem is finding the time...
