Please don't add new boot parameters if at all possible. Distros will not know to enable them, and users don't know how to either. Use sane defaults, and provide ways to override them if needed, but don't rely on them for new functionality if at all possible. Why would this option ever _not_ be something that should be enabled? 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/
