Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix set apic mode from x2apic enabled bit patch

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for pointing that out, though Boris did highlight the same 
problem.  I still do all the patches in quilt but I've created an 
automated conversion to take those patch(es) and use git send mail to 
send them upstream.  The platform information used to be included but 
it's not now and I hadn't noticed that.  I will look at the tool 
particularly the git format patch step.

Thanks again for accepting the patch as is.  And I will be more 
descriptive in the patch and in code comments.  I do get into the 
mindset that no one else really cares about how UV works but it sounds 
like I'm mistaken, at least in regards to how it affects the kernel.

Thanks,
Mike
