However, even after two months I am still a newbie and there are a few questions that I would like to ask : 1. Multiple files will be affected by this change, who do you think=20 I should send my patches to ?? 2. Should I send my patches as a patchset of multiple small patches chaging a particular API for e.g. sending all patches that change pci_map_single() to dma_map_single() in one file in the same patchset ?? 3. I literally have little idea on how to change the comments and docs which refer to these APIs. 4. And what if a maintainer likes the previous APIs for simplicity and rejects the patches that try to change them ?? Thanks, Suraj Upadhyay.
