Not quite - I'm running FC4 stable - and the posting that Arjan made was
that all FC4 kernels were doing voluntary preemption. Maybe he *meant*
the new FC5s in development.
It got temporarily dropped during FC4 devel, and it didn't get
fixed up until just before release. Now that it's upstream,
it'll appear in the first 2.6.13 based update for FC4.
