Subject: Re: [PATCH] irq: make SPARSE_IRQ an optionally hidden option

So that everyone who received this patch knows...

I've just pulled Rob's series, which includes this patch, into a stable
branch in my tree and it is my intention to send this during the 3.4
merge window.  This means that there is a patch in my tree which touches
other architectures' Kconfig files.

If there's any objections, please let me know asap.

Thanks.
