| |
Hi Andrew,
i've been going over the interrupt-handling code and noticed that the SA_xxx interrupt flags are scheduled for removal sometime in 9/2007 with a prior grace period of 6 months for people to fix external stuff. In order to do so, a __deprecated inline function wraps those flags. What puzzles me is that the __deprecated-patches are only in -mm and not in mainline. Is the -mm-testing audience wide enough to cause userspace to fix their apps prior to the SA_xxx removal or am I missing something? I.e, shouldn't tglx's patches hit mainline first?
