Well, to Linus' point, it shouldn't go in until a critical mass of users have expressed desire to see it in tree, which seems reasonable to me. For the admittedly small group that are using it today, modern tools like the opensuse-build-service ease the deployment as a KMP, so that can suffice for now. Its actually what most of the alacrityvm community uses today anyway (as opposed to using a merged tree in the guest) >=20 > And upstream submission is not always like this! I would think the process would come to a grinding halt if it were ;) Thanks Andi, -Greg --------------enigEC53A75968A6BAF3713BE6EE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksyULwACgkQP5K2CMvXmqG9GwCeKJ4Twt2JQJRU4QlMzkYcr1o8 sAoAnjId3mlczi5DhpL1XTANuc1bQ/5P =mYbg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigEC53A75968A6BAF3713BE6EE-- -- 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/
