Apparently my last search was more than a week ago. Would have been nice if you posted the link to the discussion into the bug report, this would have saved me (and others) some trouble. Thanks anyway, the discussion has all the information I needed. Sorry for the noise. --------------enig7BAFBA323F1005E6D9157BBC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQNkIwAAoJEChPw0yOSxollT0P/0RHYnRZ6BCncBeF9Mb0qPzJ /+7mUWbz60Tr61pr0diqE0tXCVZxdDwUU8rUyC0h1pwZ2tP8Eoui7yP3dUB/Ncfv FAeXDvbAc+qopP1flNmGhrJiBHrnplHqu6lMWJ4QR5kW6nN9d4KgMJIdZQgF5NLf sz5C2Km4Pc/L2//Y0rGx+pByyaf8vg8/rdAWQtMoaKgUDAIXrX3oxKTWmYElRjgr OOoaRgdB1JUu4dSKQd/W5gNsptHCqd5qjDQ7nyhdgxIVAuHDBvV6XpWIU9ixKnfu OcCnJbSremL3ULBgxmKeVU36cy87MfxlNTcxvva/X3TI/9OVEu4KivEDBDwQKnlD FvXQ89G0uJCzwNLwOAoSiZgSY3G83OfHlDwOYJa6kpeHMzrP2zTS8WAaPseAXeZi R62YRQz7W9zbrl8FC3tU4IOda9lkHBxs/GaU7NgVrxI0IgX2Wvk+PxCM7WhfxZuC LZDIHK0ZGnyFkHWdPj09A9B98RXeUWpa+BT3KXTxa1W8YraY7hJAL6n5zjgsK+LK +L2HPSaw2IozYE4FLiUbtvEoHMZJZJ81Ohpdex62Hk4ltKBb8FCcyOHH+GCdwd+E 3dEfYkJPiaollZnl4zlJW+ICYy29DvLTL9UWIl21lOn8HscMpCKezg+U420ve+qe 8EJ+pnn6ItNaEIDNNQ/1 =zSbr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig7BAFBA323F1005E6D9157BBC-- -- 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/
