I'm easily convinced ;) Please let's get all the info into the right place, make sure it answers the thus-far-asked questions (at least) and we'll take it from there. And please do have a think about switching as much as possible over to runtime-configurability. Because "please echo foo > /proc" is a heck of a lot nicer than "please reboot with iomem=" which is a heck of a lot nicer than "please ask vendor for a new kernel". -- 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/
