Take it easy. Don't kill __check_region() unless you first convert all users of it. And by removing __check_region() you've just broken check_region() - There are still some drivers left that use check_region() and there's no reason to break them. The right approach is to identify all users of check_region()/__check_region(), then submit patches to convert them to use request_region instead. *Then*, when there are no more in-kernel users left, submit patches to remove the deprecated functions. -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/
