If the system is still up Monday and if no one else has reported on the U2
(and U1) stability, I'll try to make a test using Josh Grebe's (squash's)
crashme script against that kernel with the IRQ patch removed. I can't
give a good estimate of when the test will be possible because Monday
morning the U2 will be helping with a fairly lengthy upgrade unrelated to
the kernel.

Ferris
