Yes, I recommend pulling this tree now. While there is a fair amount of text changed, the functional changes here are actually quite small, and have been in -mm for a long time -- some of them already shipping in distros before being upstream. Yes, there is a fair amount of fluffy cleanup here -- seems there is never a good time in the release cycle to do them, but as andrew says, we're in this for the long term, so we do have to do them some time. I don't see any big risks in them so it seems appropriate to push after rc1. Note that there is a much larger body of ACPI changes in flight that I have excluded from this pull request and are waiting for 2.6.21. thanks, -Len - 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/
