With the problems we had with 2.6.9 as a host, I was wondering why
Blaisorblade chose it when he released skas-v8-rc1.
I wondered too :-), however the reason was just that I wanted to get it out 
for early review... I've then been busy and now I'm going to port it to 
2.6.10.
Here is skas-v8-rc1 diffed against 2.6.10:
http://www.theshore.net/~caker/patches/skas-v8-rc1-2.6.10.patch
I'm having a look at it, however IIRC there weren't too many subtle ptrace 
change in 2.6.10, so I guess you've done it well...

Actually I have some doubt about ptrace.c, for this part:

                  child->exit_code = data;
  -               /* make sure the single step bit is not set. */
  -               clear_singlestep(child);
  +               put_stack_long(child, EFL_OFFSET,tmp);
                  wake_up_process(child);
                  ret = 0;
                  break;

I understand the purpose, and it makes sense... but I'll have to find a way to 
clean it up...
