SubjectRe: [PATCH] [CELL] oprofile: test for flag instead of negative on unsigned
From
Date
Arnd,
This patch was originally submitted some time back, and I gave my approval
for it. The last I heard from you about it (on July 2), you said you were
queuing it up for 2.6.27. Has it gotten upstream yet?

Thanks.
-Maynard
