I did apply them manually - but the patchset is based on the tip/master, plus some patches from a previous patch set that aren't in tip/locking to be able to apply this patchset cleanly in the first place. So there's no "start froma known working kernel" case that applies here :/ Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
