In other words we have the very real problem of when you use a -rc kernel, internal APIs aren't consistent with the real world and someone should strongly re-evaluate what the best kernel revision to use here is given that it's not .32 and not .33 but .33-rc1 or so. Maybe it shouldn't be D_P = 1 until it's based on a release kernel version? -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation
