OK. I guess I'm convinced then. However, your patch description needs to be a lot better. It should describe things like why you want to make the change and why the change you are proposing is a good idea and is better than other alternatives. If you'd done that originally we might not have needed to have all this discussion. :) Paul. -- 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/
