The whole series now seems acceptable since I fixed two issues that Linus found annoying. (the naming and the change of prototype) Please give your ack if it is OK. I should have fixed them quickly so that the series went upstream in the last merge windows. But I couldn't because I spent some time fixing and compile testing for a bisection hole. > Does it break bisection unless it's merged as one single giant patch ? I think there is no known problem that breaks bisectability by this patch series. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
