Indeed. I just did a merge of your changes with next-20090323 and it conflicted with changes in 10 files across 4 architectures. There has been work on several areas that you are changing here (some of which will make your life easier - like the percpu changes). I suspect that at least some of patch 1/4 could have bee split out and sent to the appropriate maintainers. As it is, It looks like this will need to be rebased on top of (say) 2.6.30-rc1 (at least) in order not to inflict too much pain on others. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ --Signature=_Tue__24_Mar_2009_17_07_00_+1100_iG.AUBB3e3ev1n.c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknIeIQACgkQjjKRsyhoI8z56QCgv9pdzXREe8/9vuJh2BnKWuv/ ZEMAni/uHitdQZfKxqCXACCW+EEvbzE0 =uEaT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__24_Mar_2009_17_07_00_+1100_iG.AUBB3e3ev1n.c-- -- 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/
