Filesystem mount and unmount is a problem.  Probably, this will not be
addressed.  People who have specialised latency requirements should avoid
using automounters and those gadgets which poll CDROMs for insertion events.
That stinks...it don't work in .54 and I'd likem to have my automounter
functioning again. Oh well it *is* 2.5.
autofsv4 has been working fine across the 2.5 series.  You'll need to
send a (much) better report.

This work has broken the shared pagetable patch - it touches the same code
in many places.   I shall put Humpty together again, but will not be
including it for some time.  This is because there may be bugs in this
patch series which are accidentally fixed in the shared pagetable patch. So
shared pagetables will be reintegrated when these changes have had sufficient
testing.
Also for some reason I always have to do a "touch /fastboot" and boot in
rw mode to boot the kernel. The kernel fails on remouting fs in r-w mode.
Many more details are needed.  Sufficient for a developer to be able to
reproduce the problem.
X also don't work saying /dev/agpgart don't exist even though it does and
I saw it. agpgart module is loaded..maybe it would work as built into the
kernel? .config attached.
You could try statically linking it, yes.  More details are needed,
such as a description of what hardware you have and what driver you're
using.
