So... what "serious bug" does this fix? You really need to use cc: > stable less. Tweaking performance/power ratio is _not_ serious bug. While the performance difference may not be significant, the energy difference may be. Some people think it is serious when Linux has worse out-of-box energy efficiency than Windows on the same hardware. Some people think that it is serious when their Linux distribution has worse energy efficiency than competing Linux distributions. Greg has given me a hard time for not cc'ing stable _enough_. I guess the folks that answer the stable mail get to decide... cheers, -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/
