Does it really justify being that different
[Gorby, Russ] yeah, I agree with you. I can't justify these changes either. I was guilty of trying to implement something w/o scrutinizing the use-case closely enough. Would you agree that an ioctl that initiates a reset but follows the same code path from there is reasonable? _______________________________________________ MeeGo-kernel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-kernel
