Just realized that last time I replied to wrong mail id. Ryo, this time
you should get the mail. This is reply to my original reply.

Also I wanted to test run your patches. How do I do that? I see that your
patches are based on dm quilt tree. I downloaded the dm-patches and tried
to apply on top of 2.6.30-rc1 but it failed. So can't apply your patches
now.

So what's the simplest way of testing your changes on latest kernels?

Thanks
