Re: [PATCH] Avoid unnecessary data copying inside dvb_dmx_swfilter_204() function

[Marko Ristola <marko.ristola@kolumbus.fi>]

Hi.

This patch is like the original, but without mangled spaces.
I found Documentation/email-clients.txt to be useful for tuning Thunderbird.

DVB-S2 users with high volume stream data are interested in trying this patch too.
