Hi Rusty, That RFC patch was superseded by a newer version, posted in a separate thread. There were documentation and other printout sites to update. I posted the non-RFC version of the patch here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/14/4 (you should have it in your inbox) Please let me know if I need to repost it. Thanks!
