Hi Greg,
I retract my intel_idle pull requests for .stable
The idle-release branches in... git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/ linux-idle-2.6.32.git linux-idle-2.6.35.git linux-idle-2.6.36.git
are for distros and others that want to run the latest intel_idle driver on the specified release. The backports in these trees contain every upstream patch that touch the driver, including new platform support and any dependent cosmetic patches.
So they are optimized for the maintenance task of comparing the backport versus the upstream driver to verify the release includes everything that is upstream. However, as it does not exclude cosmetic or trivial patches, the backports do not qualify for inclusion in .stable.
Sorry to bother you.
thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
