I've been using Linus's earlier patch for 3 months meanwhile in -tip and the
'+' version string differentiator is very useful in practice. Your version of
the patch should address some of the observations offered in the original
discussion as well. Would be nice to have your patch upstream (in the next
merge window or so).
Given that Sam doesnt maintain the kbuild tree anymore, would this patch be a
good fit for -mm perhaps?
