Note that -mm serves other purposes than just integration testing. I'm not sure that nuking *all* reference to it is appropriate.
On the other hand, I think there's like 3 other guys besides myself that actually test -mm kernels, so maybe the best bet is to see if it makes it upstream via the -mm route. ;) [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
