Greg, you once indicated you had class device conversion patches for 1394 in the pipeline, but they couldn't go out to -mm or wherever because of them depending on unfinished driver core changes. If you found that the 1394 subsystem needed some special treatment, there might be a chance to eliminate this by pulling some historically grown but now obsolete infrastructure out. (Of course not for 2.6.21-rc anymore, but perhaps post 2.6.21 if we take it on quickly.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== --== -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
