See http://linux-acpi.bkbits.net:8080/linux-acpi-test-2.6.0/cset@1.1323.1.3?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-4d. It'll be part of Len's next push. Sorry I should have kept that in the patch so as not to confuse people. I've been working hard to get all of the non-ia64 specific code out into Linus' tree already, including some bootmem allocator fixes and such, this one just took a little longer because Andy stepped down as maintainer at around the same time I sent my (trivial) patch out to fix this. Btw, which piece(s) of the patch would you like first? Is seperating the contig and discontig functions into seperate files worthwhile? I can comment things a bit more too while I'm at it... Thanks, Jesse
