6.2 SHOWSTOPPER - em completely unusable on 6.2

[Karl Denninger]

I wonder if this is related to the breakage of the Rocketport driver (PR is
open, but it appears that nobody has looked at it.....)

It breaks specifically when I use a piece of software that does a lot of
SELECTs on a terminal line to do pretty much what "poll" does........ but it
is not specific to a uniprocessor or SMP kernel - it is reliably hosed in both
cases.
