Ugh, I really don't like new command line options. Especially one that isn't very well documented. Why would someone want to enable this? What problem is it solving? Can we detect this automatically and do it for the user? Is this just for prototype hardware that has not shipped? What hardware needs this? I need a whole lot more documentation at the very least before I will apply this. thanks, greg k-h -- 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/
