Thanks for the timely info. I'm not in an undue hurry to get this merged. As long as we're moving forward, I'm happy. What about pushing the fb_defio fixes independently of any new fb_defio users? If fb_defio was worth merging into Linus's tree, it should be worth fixing there, whether new users are in shape already or not. If we must have a new user, well, I could easily whip up something like FB_VIRTUAL on top of fb_defio. -- 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/
