It was a joke about eager committers.  I've come to dread committing.  :)

Muagh! (expression of intense dismay).  I'm in the middle of that right
now as CPUs need to gain newbus attachments for my cpufreq driver.  And I
was just dragged through it finding all the ways APIC ids, ACPI Processor
ids, and PCPU ids can all not line up.

Actually, working on ACPI has become an exercise in how deep on the stack
I can recurse.  I think it started somewhere when I was working on CAM and
my laptop wouldn't suspend correctly and I thought "hmm, let's figure out
why".
