Hi Laurence, Let's make this into more of a complete patch. a. update the diffstat to include the Documentation change b. send the patch with the Documentation change as part of the same patch, not as a separate patch (It looks like the multiple "---" lines in the email are confusing.) c. send the patch to someone who can merge it: scripts/get_maintainer.pl top suggestions are: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> or Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> thanks, -- ~Randy
