Well, kernels should always be able to run an older userland (for older
versions you'll need the appropriate COMPAT_* options, of course).

Anyway, in the meantime, I reshuffled the interrupt priorities a bit,
favouring serial interrupts more. Maybe you can try an updated
-current kernel and see if things are better now.

For the MP case, the messy issue of having an interrupt that is

cleanly. Currently it's worked around by installing a handler
that doesn't take the kernel lock, assuming that it won't
mess with anything. But I guess I'll have to tackle that
in my changes in the intr code.
