I thought step 1 in the right way was for the patch to hit mainline. :) The patch: - is obviously correct and tested against 3.1.y - is very short - fixes only one thing - fixes a real bug that bothered people (boot failure) - also removes the deprecated IRQF_DISABLED flag; I'd be happy to undo that part and get another round of testing before sending it to you - would obviously follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches rules when sending it to you - does *not* yet have an analog in linus's tree. BTW, I'm not sure why this isn't in Jens's for-linus branch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
