   Uh, are you saying there is a set of network patches?  If
   so, where might they be found?  And yes, we are testing
   preemption, trying to wring out the "last" bug :)  (Could
   you be referring to the patches we are developing?)
   
An mvista person recently put "make net preempt safe" patches
into 2.5.x  Basically it amounted to putting a few preempt_disable
sections into net/core/skbuff.c
