Do we really need to have all the ids shifted right by 5? I can't see where it helps. OTOH, it makes the code more complicated by having to remember to shift the id left by 5. > + * Nitpick: no need for another line. -- Catalin -- 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/
