I don't think it all that fragile. All the back ends will have unique names. If the user doesn't specify a pstore= argument we keep the current "first past the post" method. If they do, then they can choose which one, or specify pstore=none (or even pstore=not-bloody-likely, since any not matching string will disable) to turn it off altogether. -Tony -- 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/
