I'm not a native english speaker, so I want to make sure in the first
place that you meant:

    "ridiculous whingeing" 

Assumed that you meant that, let me ridicule you a bit.

The gic_arch_extn concept got merged with:

    commit d7ed36a4ea84e3a850f9932e2058ceef987d1acd
    Author: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@...com>

The patch in question was never cc'ed to me and you merged it on your
own.

So now you have the chuzpe to blame me for that, just because this
code moved to drivers/irqchip with

     commit 81243e444c6e9d1625073e4a3d3bc244c8a545f0
     Author: Rob Herring <rob.herring@...xeda.com>
     Date:   Tue Nov 20 21:21:40 2012 -0600

     irqchip: Move ARM GIC to drivers/irqchip
    
almost two years later?

The code move neither exempts you from the responsibility of merging
it nor does it imply a retroactive responsibility for me to review all
patches which went into that code prior to the move.

Thanks,

	tglx
