Now that I have read all the previous versions of this patch series and, more importantly, all objections that were raised on the way, I can start reviewing the latest iteration of your patches. I'll also do some testing, although I have no powerpc stuff here, but at least I want to make sure that there are no regressions introduced by your patches on x86. -- Jean Delvare -- 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/
