Also, the recent Linux RT changes will not need any of these driver-specific changes at all from what I can tell, so they are now obsolete. Frank, unless you have any major objections, I'd like to remove this code. thanks, greg k-h -- 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/
