Well, there's 2 issues here. 1) the patch in question is not -stable material (the patch name is a bit misleading). 2) you can add them runtime in userspace (and for pcmcia too after patch in question is applied), so we've historically avoided that kind of patch for -stable. thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
