I can prune it from my tree if you'd rather just bundle these together, I wasn't sure what the timeline for these changes were, so I opted just to toss the PMB rework in my git tree ahead of time. On the other hand, if Christoph's changes are going to be queued for 2.6.23, the PMB changes will trickle in well before then anyways. - 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/
