Not supporting hardware that is widely avaiable (I have some, too) is not very user friendly. I'll submit a patch allowing a nvdimm_type= kernel option that allows to detect them, but will do nothing by default. The code needed is very small and it would be very useful for all kinds of projects. -- 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/
