....my apologies. I screwed up sending the patches through quilt.
anyway I have received the following comments from Andrew Morton, which I will incorporate before sending out saner looking patches. sorry again, RP
Andrew's comments follows: ----------------------------------------
Frankly, I don't even know what these patches _do_, and haven't spent the time to try to find out.
If these patches are merged, how do we expect end-users to find out how to use the new capabilities?
A few paragraphs in the patch #1 changelog would help. A high-level description of the new capability which explains what it does and why it would be a useful thing for Linux.
And maybe some deeper information in a Documentation/ file.
Right now, there might well be a lot of people who could use these new features, but they don't even know that these patches provide them! It's all a bit of a mystery, really. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
