Looks like they managed to do that quite some time ago - in fact, before some parts of the *in-kernel* code were totally cleaned up.... So yes, I *do* expect $COMPANY to re-write their driver to support 4K stacks. ;) --==_Exmh_1142383841_9726P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFEF2ThcC3lWbTT17ARAjvtAKCaGDiu2gU1XU4TGnXA81yODIg3ZgCgjl/2 xQj8JNKZsks31xNeieC4+z4= =VVUF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1142383841_9726P-- - 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/
