I tagged it Cc: <stable@...nel.org> [2.6.25.x, 2.6.26.x, 2.6.27.x, 2.6.28.x] (I'm not sure if 2.6.25.x is still being maintained by Greg & Chris, but other parties are maintaining 2.6.25-based kernels, and such tagging might help them). -- 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/
