As near as I can tell, it is about trying to stir up enough interest  
in the issues involved, so that we can get a clean compile of the  
linux kernel.  This just requires bug fixing until it works.  Some of  
the people capable of bug fixing, would like simple, easy testcases to  
facilitate such bug fixing.  And the linux people would like to hear  
from us when we expect to have it fixed.  That's how I see it.
