I think I would prefer you touch the generic code. This new hook is ugly.

What new hook? The hook has been there for sometime, and now we are using it to fix a bug. I do not want to touch generic or arch code at this point in the 2.6.21 release.

And the lazy mode is currently only used by VMI anyways, isn't it? So you shouldn't impact anybody else

Yes, but if I don't touch arch code, I won't even affect native. I do not want to risk any instability, despite how easy it would be to do what you and others have asked, I don't think it is appropriate at -rc5 stage.

Thanks,
Zach
