Thanks for your attention reviewing these patches. This is going to get slightly messy if there are lots of changes in platforms/44x and/or head_44x.S. Most 4xx changes go through my tree, and I'm happy to pull from your tree once things get off the ground. We just need to make sure and coordinate as we go. My tree is fairly low-churn (as is all of 4xx) so hopefully I'm worried for nothing. >Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen >--- > MAINTAINERS | 8 ++++++++ > 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > >diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS >index 69f19f1..3ffca88 100644 >--- a/MAINTAINERS >+++ b/MAINTAINERS >@@ -3863,6 +3863,14 @@ S: Maintained > F: arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/ > F: arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ > >+LINUX FOR POWERPC BLUEGENE/P >+M: Eric Van Hensbergen >+W: http://bg-linux.anl-external.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page >+L: bg-linux@lists.anl-external.org >+T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ericvh/bluegene.git >+S: Maintained >+F: arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/bgp* This should probably be the last patch in the series. You have a file pattern listed for files that don't exist at all in any of the other patches you submitted :). josh
