I love it.  In the past I've lost time by working with patches which

Oh well, please keep it alive, maybe beat on it a bit, resend it

I can test the patch to make sure that it catches mistakes I've made in

That would be much appreciated.

at tracking lock_page()?  I'm not holding my breath, but any little bit
would probably help.

Yeah I'm going to try that one next..
