One year has passed since I sent this patch the first time, and with the exception that it needs re-diff'ing it still applies. Charles, are the changes you are talking about that might need them available in the very near future? If not, I'd suggest to remove them and re-add them when code using them will be included in the kernel (reverting parts or all of my patch should be trivial). This way, they'll not continue to uselessly making the kernel image larger. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness.
