I don't care about the two users of find_e820_area_size() as long as
you are not willing to spend more than a split second to explain
things.

I'm really fed up to pull answers from your nose bit by bit. Me and
others wrote lengthy explanations and asked precise questions. 

All we get are some meager bones thrown our way.

If that's your understanding of community work, fine. It's just not
our way of working together. After spending valuable time on that I
completely agree with Dave on:

 "Now I know that you _REALLY_ aren't listening to us."

It's not only that you are not listening, you are simply ignoring our
concerns. Go ahead with that, but do not wonder about us ignoring you
as well.

Thanks,

	tglx
