| |
Here are some more driver core patches for 2.6.19
They contain: - minor driver core bugfixes and memory savings - debugfs bugfixes and inotify support added. - userspace io driver interface added. This allows the ability to write userspace drivers for some types of hardware much easier than before, going through a simple interface to get accesses to irqs and memory regions. A small kernel portion is still needed to handle the irq properly, but that is it. - other minor cleanups and fixes.
All of these patches have been in the -mm tree for a while.
Please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/ or if master.kernel.org hasn't synced up yet: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-2.6.git/
Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see.
thanks,
greg k-h
