Some of the patches were wordwrapped, which I fixed. The way we would merge a feature like this is - get maintainers to review-and-ack the change - merge the core patch into Greg's PCI tree and later into mainline. - Once the base infrastructure is in mainline, feed the per-driver changes into the tree via the appropriate maintainers. This takes, umm, months and consumes quite a bit of my time. I'm becoming inclined just to slam stuff like this straight in as you've proposed, but for now, let's play the game - I split the patches up appropriately. I don't think there's any particular urgency behind this, is there? - 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/
