Not sure i fully follow you here. > On Thu, Aug 05, 2004 at 06:28:31AM -0700, William Lee Irwin III wrote: > >> Let me do a closer review and I'll send in another followup. > > On Thu, Aug 05, 2004 at 03:51:24PM +0200, Sven Luther wrote: > > Ok.

Well, the marvell-mm patch is pulled from the -mm tree, and Christoph said it will go upstream. I have no idea what the marvell-pegasos patch status is, i think Christoph will be able to respond better on this one, though i had the impression that he wanted to submit it upstream or something. Both the pegasos and the g4 errata patches should have gone upstream. I posted the pegasos patch on the linuxppc-dev list for review, and it was okeyed by benh, who also said he would submit it (altough directly to Marcello's tree). The same goes for the g4 errata patch, where Nico did a first version, and benh rewrote, and said he would commit. I have no idea what the exact status of those two is though, and i have the feeling that benh has had other stuff in his mind these past days, so maybe he didn't do the commit part of it, not sure. Also, i don't read the bitkeeper commit logs from Marcello's tree, so i cannot check if they where applied or not. Friendly, Sven Luther
