Subject: Re: [patch 00/28] PNP: convert fixed tables to lists, v3

thanks for the update, bjorn.

it applied cleanly to top of linus' tree,
built cleanly and booted cleanly -- no unexplained dmesg diffs.

there are a couple of checkpatch.pl warnings -- i'll look
at those after the celtics.

cheers,
-len
