Please, it is very difficult to review your work the way you have submitted this patch as a set of 4 patches. These patches have not been split up "logically", but rather they have been split up "per file" with the same exact changelog message in each patch posting. This is very clumsy, and impossible to review, and wastes a lot of mailing list bandwith.
We have an excellent file, called Documentation/SubmittingPatches, in the kernel source tree, which explains exactly how to do this correctly. By splitting your patch into 4 patches, one for each file touched, it is impossible to review your patch as a logical whole. Please also provide your patch inline so people can just hit reply in their mail reader client to quote your patch and comment on it. This is impossible with the attachments you've used. Thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
