It's now thrown out, and I think Andrew already had a patch in his tree that reverted this. I'll be bringing it back eventually, but first we are going to work out all the kinks by probably putting these changes in the next few SuSE alpha releases to see what shakes out in userspace that we need to go fix. It's not 2.6.19 material at all, so don't worry :) 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/
