I put together a patch against 2.5.1 and sent it in.
So, if you don't see it soon on a kernel mirror near you, start bugging
Linus :-)

plus it's mirrored in various places - start with

It's the same UML as the 2.4.17 I released last night with some changes
in the block driver required by the bio changes.

This is good news. I want to add something here that's a little less lame
than 'me too'...
Besides being an essential development tool I use every day, I believe there
is great potential for UML as a 'perfect jail'. There are interesting
applications we'll start to see when UML is more widely available, such as
simulation of clusters, or 'Linux Bubbles' under Windows.
I think you've done a great job maintaining UML out-of-tree for more than a
year, with very little assistance, and I hope you won't have to shoulder that
extra burden much longer.

Excellent! uml has been a very valuable tool for me to both learn kernel
programming and to get kernel programming done. And it's extremely cool.
IMHO it's excellent programming as well.
Thanks,

Yeah, there are a ton of interesting possibilities which I have probably not
done enough to publicize.

Thanks!

UML is approaching three years old (I started hacking in Feb 1998;
the first public sign of it was the following June).

Yeah, one can hope :-)
I'm currently banging on bugs and residual missing functionality. When I
think that's all done, that will be what I call UML V1.0 and I will send
it to Marcelo. At that point, the out-of-tree phase of UML will be over.

That's why I originally wrote it...

Thanks, thanks, and thanks!
