You didn't answer my previous comments about the kernel/user interface here, why not? And you ignored my other review comments, which is a sure way for me to want to reject this and not look at any future submissions from you for at least a month... greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
