Hi Linus, please pull my "lzo-update" branch from
git://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux.git lzo-update You can also browse the branch at https://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux/compare/lzo-update The LZO update actually had been approved by akpm for a 3.7 merge and is available in linux-next since October, but I've only recently learned that there is no automatic flow from linux-next to linux and I have to personally send a pull request. Many thanks, Markus Summary: ======== Update the Linux kernel LZO compression and decompression code to the current upstream version which features significant performance improvements on modern machines. $ git shortlog v3.8..lzo-update Markus F.X.J.
