Well, the overlap is unfortunate but I did do a git diff with tip/core/kill-the-BKL BEFORE I posted.
not sure what the difference is between tip/kill-the-BKL and tip/core/kill-the-BKL btw
Also git describe 55968ede164ae523692f00717f50cd926f1382a0 v2.6.31-rc6-4-g55968ed
Not sure what to make of that either, since my patch was against the latest linus updated this morning.
Frederic: what was your method to discover that patch from Thomas?
