To make things easier, and allow you to be able to change the userspace interface, I suggest moving the userspace code into the kernel tree, and building it here. That would allow you to move forward with changing things easier, doing it all in one place allows you to keep stuff in sync, and provides people an easier way to actually get the needed tools to drive the code. What do you think about doing that? I've applied a number of these patches, care to respin the others and resend them based on my latest tree? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
