Not really related to your question, but the linux-ha team is having major 
problems with this kernel.

It seems that the process scheduling is unreliable and that they can get 
deadtimes on their communications heartbeats in the 10's of seconds.

FYI: the heartbeat app is set to run at the highest realtime priority, so 
having to wait so long definitely indicates a kernel bug.

They have numerous users reporting the problem and it is unique to that 
specific kernel.

I for one am avoiding it.
