Anyway, this patch fails to apply, it seems you want to just delete the symlink, which you might need to tell git that you want to generate a patch that does this. For how you do that, I don't really know, sorry. If you want, just send a patch that does the proper thing for the existing files to get everything to build correctly, and then tell me to remove the symlink by hand, which I can do. That might be the easiest thing to do here. thanks, greg k-h
