It is the general policy that the source in the latest linux kernel only supports that kernel.

Can it be cleaned up for submission to 2.6.13? -tduffy --=-D9D1/BBQJYs+1EOwjco8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBC1ChcdY502zjzwbwRAjz7AJ498j2j8RknLzTTZEKRfp9g4K4xowCdGJ0x H768BjFZFV5UKmU7uLMr9cs= =vmnQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-D9D1/BBQJYs+1EOwjco8--
