Well, I ask because there is probably quite a large number of embedded type devices devices that you could "just add a small patch for" to get it working.
The added fact that you have to "hack" the hardware (I think?) to even get it to run Linux makes it probably a bit more questionable (it is great that we can run on xbox, but maybe not too harmful to keep it as an external patch).
Anyway I've otherwise got no objections ;) if you can convince Andrew and/or Linus to merge it, then fine. - 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/
