One a legacy file, and one that is more consistent from message to message.. shooting for a gradual migration. Let me know when you're back on planet earth ok? Standardizing strings is an absolutely FRUITLESS exercise. If you want events, standardize events and push them over a queueing based communications channel to userspace, namely using netlink sockets. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
