(I guess that some networking thing must be picking it up in a subsequent patch, but I'm too lazy to look!)... Again, can you have more of a rationale in your patch headers, or ref the patch that uses it... thanks - 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/
