Subject: [PATCH,RESEND] Basic braille screen reader support
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 22:00:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080205220054.GD4394@implementation> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080204031842.GE4439@implementation>

This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support.
This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when /
cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>

---
Greg KH was OK with this patch and there was no other complains, so I
resubmit it, with a fixed signed-off-by.
I think it should fine for mainline, as it is not enable by default and
doesn't change anything else and exporting a few functions that will be
needed for SpeakUp too.
