I'll consider this patch, but I can't guarantee it to get in. The reason being that it modifies stock code, and we are trying to avoid that where possible.
The main question I have is if this patch is as useful as it claims (and it seems that it is), why isn't it merged with upstream kernel? As much as it is a pain for users to have to get this themselves, it is also a pain for distro maintainers to support external patches like this just to have happy users. I strongly suggest talking to the linux-phc maintainers and try to get them to push this stuff upstream so more people can benefit. It helps only a handful of people to have this patch external to the kernel. It would help everyone to have it in mainline. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.19 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- FEATURE REQUEST: include linux-phc patch in kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/63789 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
