Hey, This change adds an entry to the maintainers file to explicitly state that any changes to vmware.c should be sent to the authors of the file as well.
If you are thinking why do this now, off late we have seen quite a few changes that touched the "arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c" file but were not directed to me, someone else made me aware of those changes. It could be that my use of different SOB lines "Alok N Kataria" vs "Alok Kataria" confuses get_maintainer.pl, but adding this entry in MAINTAINERS should solve the problem at hand. For one of the changes [1], I did verify that get_maintainer.pl, now expectedly includes me in the cc list. Thanks, Alok [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137571112610984&w=2 >From : Alok Kataria <akata...@vmware.com> Add an entry in MAINTAINERS file to reflect the authors of a file.
