I didn't test with my kernel; I tested with almost-current SMP and !SMP
kernels (amost-current = 217 lines of patches; my kernel = 96934 lines
of patches).  They were about half an hour old when I tried it.  I tested
little more than continuing from Debugger().  I didn't test using optional
foot shooting devices like acpi or modules.
