Send the patches to the respective subsystem mailinglist. Cc the responsible maintainer and lkml. However, the current time is not ideal: A merge window is open, with code in the mainline changing quickly and maintainers being busy with integration; not helped by the fact that some Linux conferences are imminent. Consider to wait until 2.6.36-rc1 was released, then check whether your patches are still applicable on top of 2.6.36-rc1, then post them. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- =--- --=-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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/
