I added this patch to -mm.

The rule is:
- If the patch patches something which is in Linus's kernel, prepare a diff against Linus's latest kernel.
- If the patch patches something which is only in -mm, prepare a patch against -mm.
In this case, I merged the patch prior to the kgdb patch and then fixed up the fallout.
(If that causes kgdb to break in non-obvious-to-me ways then I might come calling "help". We'll see) - 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/
