It's been pretty stable for me the last two days. I can't tell for sure
though, whether it's because of your poll change or because I changed
the swapMethod to SWAP_KERNEL locally.

That's true. But since the kernel driver is built by the installation
script I don't need to include anything that is not use by the script.

When there was only a single linux DRM the snapshots included a single
flat directory with both the linux and shared files. When linux and
linux-2.6 were split I decided to package shared, linux and linux-2.6 in
separate directories so that shared files would not be duplicated.

Now that linux and linux-core use different shared directories I could
build two flat directories linux (from linux and shared) and linux-2.6
(from shared-core and linux-core) in the snapshots without duplicating
anything. Keeping the old name linux-2.6 I don't need to change the
install script and it's clearer to curious users what these directories
are good for.
