I agree with you, but last time I tried a large patch for fixing this I've been told to split the patches for each maintainer (http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/9/7/4616618). As you noticed it's a pain to apply them and it's even more for splitting in a per maintainer basis since it touches a lot of files. Randy, Jason: as you see maybe the split approach was not a good one. I'am all for applying this once, as Ingo said. regards, Lucas De Marchi -- 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/
