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: 2081 Lines: 68 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 was first send on 3. Sep 2006 to the LKML but nobody picked it up, so here is the second chance. :-) The patch is against linus' current git tree and it would be nice to see it in the final 2.6.18 kernel.
