Thanks, I've been watching these patches passively, and it seems that there have been some comments that Rusty hasn't submitted certain virtio_net patches to me as well. Please sort this all out and let me know what to queue up for 2.6.30 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
