Still, I've just seen in linux-kernel that 2.2.16 and (probably) 2.2.17pre1
seem to have issues with the PS2 mouse port under SMP (hangs/crashes after a
while), which would require reverting the PS2 driver to 2.2.15.
Maybe just patching 2.2.15 with 2.2.17pre1 security fixes and the VM fixes
(but nothing else) would work. But that's something for Debian's kernel
maintainer to decide, so I'll just wait to see.
