And as long as the driver is self-contained and doesn't mess with other parts of the kernel I can't see why it shouldn't be included in Linus' tree. The same is IMHO true about /dev/port, it's rather self-contained and is less than 50 source lines in mem.c. It may be ugly but it's useful for some people. /Christer -- "Just how much can I get away with and still go to heaven?"
