This doesn't seem very compelling to me. Either userspace should just be fixed or the kernel should implement a namespace for serial ports which doesn't randomly change just because the particular h/w driver doing the implementation is different. We shouldn't be papering over other peoples' problems in the VM spec IMHO. thanks -- PMM _______________________________________________ cross-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro
