I have deliberately chosen stars instead of dots because the rest of the kernel already uses dots here and there without actually implementing a progress "bar" ("Foobaring your CPU...",wait,"done\n") to stand out a bit, but I do not actually mind what is printed, whether it is stars, dots or ▒s. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
