I didn't think we had done that yet ... had we? called for port reports,
that is ... ?

I just went through the whole patch myself, and as much as I like the
overall simplification, I tend to agree with Tom here on questioning the
requirement to do suck a massive change so late in the end cycle ... is
there no smaller bandaid that can be applied to handle the Opteron/Itanium
issue for v7.4, with the "cleanup patch" being applied right away after
v7.4?
