Yes these patches are independent - for the type question you can consi= der 1/5 - feature 2/5 - bug fix 3,4,5/5 - yeah what is it .. neither a pure bug fix nor a feature let's= call=20 it "performance fix" We tested most of those performance fixes at least 1.5 Months now, havi= ng them=20 applied while developing new things on top and I feel very good with 3&= 4. It would be nice if at least the performance fixes 3&4 could go in now = under=20 the bug fix label too, but it's up to you. --=20 Gr=FCsse / regards,=20 Christian Ehrhardt IBM Linux Technology Center, Open Virtualization -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
