It's almost all stuff to get an SMP kernel to boot in x86. There are a  
couple patches that affect things outside of x86, but I think those  
are limited to the simple CPU.

I think it's pretty unlikely we'll affect each other, but I'm going to  
be pushing around 60 patches and I really don't want to have to  
reverify all those as compared to 5 or 6. My almost up to date patch  
queue is available from m5sim.org if you want to take a look. You  
could probably use those patches on your own tree and run your  
uncommitted regression and I'm betting it will pass. I can hold off if  
you really, really want me to, but I'd prefer not.
