RE: stability of 2.4.0-test1-xfs. I still haven't
checked out the latest changes, my tree is of late yesterday night.
Two things I found there:

(1) lmdd write on a file sized >> memory size hangs the lmdd process.
(2) when trying to backtrace the lmdd process, found that kdb has
    problems bactracing through things like "call *%eax" when given
    "btp <pid-of-lmdd>"

I'll try to get a more recent kernel and verify these.
