Anatol,

I suggest that you rebase this patch against the latest kernel and
then resend it; I just tried editing out the angle brackets, and the
patch completely failed to apply; every single patch hunk was rejected
by patch(1). This may be because when you forwarded the patch as a
reply, the whitespace got corrupted --- but that's why I never
recommend resending a patch as part of a reply. Instead, send a new
patch as a new thread, freshly regenerated against whatever is most
likely to be useful to the maintainer (aviro in this case) and then
put a ping as a comment or in the subject line.

Cheers,

- Ted
