Subject: [Linux-ia64] heads up on 2.5.4

Just a quick heads up: I have some concerns about the thread_info
patch that Linus accepted into 2.5.4.  Because of that, I don't have
any immediate plans to provide an ia64 patch for this kernel.

On a related note: due to the fact that the ia64-portion of the tkill
syscall patch was submitted directly to Linus, there is now a
collision of syscall numbers.  The ia64 tkill() in Linus's tree
collides with setxattr().  Because of this, I assigned a syscall
number of 1229 to tkill().  In the future, please send ia64-specific
patches to me, not Linus.

Thanks,
