Right, something called "low level driver for the IOMEGA MatchMaker" (drivers/scsi/imm.c) has gotten hold of the imm_* prefix already so there might be a problem later, probably. Nevertheless, you could use the imm_ prefix or choose some other 3-n letter prefix: immed_* (3 matches) imme_* (no matches but dumb) imd_* (none!) immv_* (none, v like [v]alues), etc. ... -- Regards/Gru?, Boris. - 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/
