Vincent has had a working i386 patch for 2.6.12 for a week or so. I
think the x86_64 work deserves a brief period of stability just so we
can get a handle on the underlying robustness before we do the upgrade
everything to 2.6.12.

Albeit some weird initial console corruption issue, x86_64 seems to
works well too on 2.6.12.

But I''ve got to fix some smp i386 regressions first anyway.
