Circling back to this... I have a v2 series (~107 patches) that I'm testing now that does this more bisectably with the typedef and macro scaffolding that Mathieu suggested. I'll probably send it early next week. I had done it this way originally since I figured it was best to break this up by subsystem. Should I continue with this series as a set of patches broken up this way, or is it preferable to combine the pile of format changes into fewer patches? -- Jeff Layton <[email protected]>
