Cool
(I tested with success the GM loop on my c110 (kernel up 32bit) and it seems to works fine)

right nothing related:
I just did a tar/untar and already get:
EXT3-fs error (device md2): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory4Remounting filesystem read-only

(this is a capture on the serial console and most probably the message is not complete but for fwiw this pb occured on / fs while 
the untar was on a different fs.

That said, it seems that I find a work around: I just reverted this

And a loop like:

was already running at least 85 time without any pb on this same c110 (same kernel 2.6.18-rc6-pa1 + jejb's patch + your 
timer_interrupt patch).
