Sure, by "established" I merely meant "established for and by usage in Linux kernel sources", nothing more. Also, High Performance Serial Bus is not the only generic sounding name of a bus or architecture. How about Small Computer System Interface for example? Universal Serial Bus and Serial Advanced Technology Attachment aren't much more colorful either. Granted, their acronyms are prettier than HPSB, but not as elitist. ;-) -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-==- ==-- -=-== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - 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/
