I don't think Linus will let it in before 2.2 :(

Therefor, our only option would be to work closely
together and push one huge new VM subsystem at Linus
when he's least suspected :)

And if we can't convince him to put it in 2.2, we
should just push for a really short-cycle 2.3...

Oh, if we _do_ want to do this, we'll have to
cooperate more closely and keep each other up to
date on what we're busy with.
As soon as I've installed Stampede Linux and the
devel kernel again, I'll be updating my MM page
at least once a week again...

Rik.
