Then there must be something else to explain the strange lockups I sometimes
get with xfs+preempt(+others, unfortunately)... Alas, I can't post a useful
bugreport because the box in question is 1500km away and I can't extract any
useful debugging information from it once it crashes (I can only cause it to
be rebooted).
