I just wanna hear what people think about this series 'in general' (or maybe even test it [James, thanks!] :) -- since the series is RFC and not to include in any kind of tree. - Cyrill - -- 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/
