X-Enigmail-Version: 0.94.0.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1981 Lines: 72 Hi everybody, Greg, Linus, This little patch just moves the devfs entry from ABI/obsolete to ABI/removed and adds the comment, that devfs was removed in 2.6.18. The patch is against linus' current git tree and should go into the final 2.6.18.
