By default this will be to apply the original patch I posted on May 7. I'm not trying to railroad anything here, but 2.4.21 is getting close, and I'd rather not wait until 2.4.22. So if there are any major issues with the proposal, please raise them! The only real issue so far has been when the error records should cleared from the firmware log, and I'm certainly open to more discussion on that. As for 2.5, I'm willing to turn it into a filesystem if that's the Right Thing (though it feels like all the existing /proc/pal, /proc/sal, and /proc/efi stuff should be converted at the same time, which is more than I really had in mind). In any case, it will take me some time to learn about how that infrastructure works. Bjorn
