Yes, 2.2 is enough for the loads we have.

Yes, many bugs in DS-8 were fixed, many not mentioned in the
Changelog because they are fixed by using the 2.4 sources. Note that
I'm not yet in production with these patches but all kind of testing
works. As for wmb(), there are some places in DS-8 that don't have it,
so I'm not sure what happens on SMP on tc reconfiguration. DS-9 should
have the locking right. You can easily check these places by looking
into the ds8-to-ds9-2.diff, for example, police.c should use such wmb().
Of course, feedback from many users is needed before marking this
patch as stable :)
