I can resend it with that CC, no problem. It's a good experience to learn git and how to use it properly.

Umm, no. My main machine for the past six or seven years is Debian based, and came from the 2.4 era of kernels and has been patched and upgraded for years by hand. Lots of 'atp-get update'. Whcih works well. So I've also compiled my own kernels.
The real reason for this patch was finally figuring out that Udev really really really wants this turned on, but doesn't mention it in any of it's documentation. So I'm working to update both sides, and have UDEV mention that it needs this feature, and making the kernel turn it on by default too.
I'll resend the patch in a few.
John
