: balance in the universe :-).

And I think Matt Dodd may be missing too, he locked the ep driver, and
maybe others.  I also think that Mitsuru Iwasaki-san did some early
locking work that I committed on his behalf way back when (but the
specific drivers escape my memory and my grep foo isn't up to
discovering the answer).  I also think that Takanori Watanabe-san and
Nate Lawson fixed some ACPI related locking issues that were exposed
by some network driver that I was locking, but since I lost all email
from 2001-2005, I can't go back into my archives to check.

And I think that some chap by the name of Robert Watson did a little
work, but maybe his modesty prevents him from thanking himself.
