No, I don't NEED the 2.6.39, but I'll want to aid in testing and this
version promises far better performance - on the file system as well as
for concurrent processes since the big kernel lock has gone.
The patches which have been posted recently, see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368081
seem to work (I'm just writing on a machine running 2.6.39 with 4 cores
and the patched ati-driver)
