Not sure it's a that good idea as it means almost every case now has a branch for two entirely separate cases.

Either way support for looking at the current thread should only be merged together with an actual user for that. - 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/
