Yes, patches like this one are no big deal. But being involved in subsystem maintenance, I find patches split up per subsystem much easier to handle. Ccing the subsystem maintainers doen't make much sens if you don't split the patch for them to integrate separately. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-==- ==-- -=--= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
