(I would just take out everyone's name). He wasn't changing that part of the option. I'm fairly certain that description has been there for years.

I was pointing out a well laid out webpage that describes what CFI is and provides the spec for it. If you want to link directly to jedec, ok. And no, I don't work at Intel, own stock in it, or know of them giving out free hardware on a regular basis. I do happen to like what Intel is doing in regards to opening their drivers, but that has nothing to do with this :). josh - 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/
