I will send v2 of the patch with a revised and more detailed
explanation about the behavior aspect of the patch.

Yep - did that just like the instructions on "SubmmitingPatches", 
unfortunately, although I've followed the Thunderbird configuration instructions
with external editor, it seems to sent the the email content wrong (bad line 
endings as I saw now).

So sorry for the trouble, will change to a text email client and will
resend the patch.

Thanks,
Oren.

This changelog is too terse:

Please update the changelog to describe the current behavior, and how 
it affects your platform. (I.e. how do users notice, if at all?)

Then describe why you think that behavior should be changed. ie: 
what's the reason for this patch.

Only then describe the details of the change itself.

Please also run scripts/checkpatch.pl over your patch which will 
report trivial coding style problems like the one here.

Thanks,

Ingo

[PATCH] X86: Hook apic vector allocation domain only when interrupt routing are set to ignore

2014-04-23 Thread Oren Twaig 
Set all inclusive vector allocation domain only if interrupt routing is 
set to ignore. When in comply mode, vector allocation behavior isn't 
changed.
