Well based on Trond's words it's not clear whether we should be proceeding this way. Although I think he said "the code is crap and someone should rewrite it". Fine, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be fixing oopses in the current stuff.
I fixed up the big reject which this threw - it's getting a bit optimistic sending out patches against 2.6.5... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
