I won't object. I checked your tree, it looks OK to me. The actual broken patch appears in -mm, and the security_sid_to_context snafu is primarily cosmetic at this point (the exports, etc fixed the real compilation issues AFAICT). But, again, if you want to drop that's fine w/ me. I'm sure Catherine can cleanup and resend as needed. thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
