Offnote: What happened to Big Kernel Lock (in the config)

There are still some minor things that require the BKL, so it is still enabled. If you don't use any of those features, there will be no BKL - it doesn't steal your performance or anything. There are patches that allow the BKL to be removed in 2.6.39 I think. We'll see.
