If so, I will, otherwise, > feel free to add: I have not got it tested on AMD, IA64 and PPC. Probably they were waiting for the core driver to settle down. I have only tested on ARM{32,64} and x86. Heiko Carstens tested on s390 long back some previous version. If it fine with you, I would like to break the first 4 patches and target it for v3.19, and take up the arch-specific patches (i.e.5-11) after that, so that I can get them tested on all architectures. > > Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman > > to the series. Thanks, I will rebase on v3.18-rc4 and repost first 4 patches on Monday which you can take it through your tree *iff you agree with me* on above flow. Regards, Sudeep
