Yes, you have a point. But I want to mention that after the bonnie-runI
also ran a e2fsck on my root filesystem while it was dirty and it finnished
which it had never done with the new driver w/o the debug-output.

I have done three runs in a row with 100Mb data, I dont know how long this takes, 
but say almost an hour.

No output at all. Interrupts still work; the box answers pings and echoes the 
console input, but nothing else works.
