Indeed, but you're poking the wrong person.  Sam needs to ack or fwd...

Thanks,

Even busy people can say something about proposed design of that
rewrite, so work will not stall like this. But lost message is another
case of course.

Patches were spit with one being example of application for lguest.

Thus i did group reply to that merged patch after reading its log :)

Hi Oleg,

	I appreciate your frustration!  Unfortunately I'm not fluent enough in
kbuild to be able to give meaningful commentary, so pinging Sam is my
way of helping this along...

Thanks!
Rusty.

It isn't, just a conversation, everyone can skip, you know.

Modest Rusty :)

Thanks for doing this, because apart from being more readable i've found
that for example dummy arch/sparc64/kernel/asm-offsets.c may benefit from
it as well.
