Greetings Annesh, Linus does not allow floating point in the kernel. Please search the main kernel mailing list archives. A link can be found at http://kernel.org This is an old debate that has been discussed on the lkml (Linux Kernel Mailing List) many times. I do not believe that you will be able to change Linus's mind.
