   Uh, are you saying there is a set of network patches?  If
   so, where might they be found?  And yes, we are testing
   preemption, trying to wring out the "last" bug :)  (Could
   you be referring to the patches we are developing?)

An mvista person recently put "make net preempt safe" patches
into 2.5.x  Basically it amounted to putting a few preempt_disable
sections into net/core/skbuff.c

Ah, yes.  Those are the ones I have found sofar.  Robert
Love would be the submitter.  It would apear there is at
least one more hole :(  Thus the query.
