They don't know what it is, or where it came from, or anything else like that. This also touches files across subsystems, generally not a good idea. Is your goal to get acks from the people here and then split them up per-subsystem later, or are you thinking you want these merged as-is? Oh, and thanks for picking this work up again. It's amazing to me that the companies/people that complain about this over the years never actually send patches to do anything about it... thanks, greg k-h
