The patchset has looked good to me, and I believe it would be better to take this particular breakage sooner rather than later. I haven't spoken up actively mostly because I wanted to look at the user comments as they have been coming in. The issue with "make allyesconfig" concerns me, although the same situation already exists with any multiple-choice configuration. What I guess we really want is to be able to specify a few specific choices. -hpa - 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/
