As to integrating this, I think it's probably best to get Patrick Mochel's other related work included first. See what he's done so far at.. http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mochel/patches/patch-linux-v2.5.6-pm1.bz2 His patch and yours touch various files for more or less the same reason. Patrick still has some bits to finish off here, but combined the two patchsets will bring some much needed sanity to various parts of arch/i386/ -- Dave Jones. http://www.codemonkey.org.uk SuSE Labs.
