Driver will accept a parameter "locality" and it will always operate on that locality. By default this parameter will be 0 which is what current driver assumes.

Make sure you extend the API in such a way that older userspace programs that don't pass the new locality parameter still work correctly. - 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/
