Thats a good point. Note that having things sprinkled all over the kernel verses contained in one place (e.g. /drivers/kvm) doesnt preclude this model that I suggested per se. But perhaps that is too messy to deal with. I think getting them in one repo is more important than which repo. So if you can make the integration with the kernel tree work from a political standpoint, I'd say go for it. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
