This is a very useful, user visiable change..
And it's been too long.. If it doesn't get included NOW then it'll prob be
year (esp seeing that is should be added at the end a of a development
kernel cycle, so that people running both kernels can cross boot without
hassle, which wouldn't be possible if it was added at the begining of 2.3
and people were testing it)..
