Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ commit 12a62a1d07031c0afa396b03334abbe30d9b9cf7 Author: Andrea Parri Date: Thu Feb 1 13:04:26 2018 +0100 MAINTAINERS: Add the Memory Consistency Model subsystem Move the contents of tools/memory-model/MAINTAINERS into the main MAINTAINERS file, removing tools/memory-model/MAINTAINERS. This allows get_maintainer.pl to correctly identify the maintainers of tools/memory-model/.
