As this is a breakage in 3.8-rc1, is there any way to pull out patches 5 and 6 in a format that I can apply them now, or in a way that I can get them into 3.8.1 so that this gets fixed? I can't apply all of these to 3.8-final now, as it's way too late. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
