Yeah send them here. Patches that are only touch powerpc should come here, from where I merge them and then send them to Linus. Anything that touches powerpc and some other code should at least be CC'ed here. If you're ever in doubt where to send a patch you can use: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback --no-rolestats -f arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c Benjamin Herrenschmidt <b...@kernel.crashing.org> Paul Mackerras <pau...@samba.org> Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au> linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org > It would be nice to get this into the distros as soon as possible. This isn't a bug fix so the distros won't pick it up automatically. You'll have to ask them specifically to take a backport. cheers
