I'd be willing to evaluate this kernel for OpenSSI FC.  Does this
kernel incorporate the latest OpenSSI fixes?  There are also some
questions like if current userspace programs are compatible with
2.6.12.2.  I think we'd also be interested in what 2.6.10 bugs does
2.6.12.2 squash and what new bugs are introduced in 2.6.12.2.

Ideally it is a good direction to move towards the latest 2.6 kernel.
If it works I'll try to produce a OpenSSI-FC package based on kernel
2.6.12.2 for everyone.
