Perhaps. But it seemed more relevant to this crowd, and the linux-embedded crowd, and the linux-arm-kernel crowd. At the very least, it made sense to present it in this sort of venue first. Given that it's a "global" API proposal, I suppose I'll have to run it by lkml at some point--- unless one of the aforementioned groups can mainline it themselves. b.g. -- Bill Gatliff bgat@billgatliff.com
