It's more the sheer degree of unmaintainability which is grating on my nerves. There is way too much hocus-pocus going on, and I dare to say that probably noone understands what actually happens in there. In response to the question about what the code looks like, I have put a development snapshot patch at: http://userweb.kernel.org/~hpa/setup-snapshot-2007.04.30.patch Note that it compiles, but it doesn't work yet. This is not a submission, just a "what does the code actually look like" sample. -hpa - 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/
