The port of this patchset to Power6 has not started yet. It should hardly require a port, it's about five lines. But it doesn't matter for now. > But this patchset does work on Power7 correct ?

Ben can you grab it, it's all arch/powerpc. cheers -- 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/
