When your new pageable allocator becomes available, we'll switch over to using that instead and revert Eric's mm changes. We're ready to promise to support the user-land DRM interface going forward, and we've got lots of additional work queued up behind this merge. We'd prefer to push stuff a bit at a time rather than shipping a lot of new code in a single kernel release.=20 --=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-+JT4jPe2tB4XGYJk6bEW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBI5ar/Qp8BWwlsTdMRAkTsAKDPDlA4nIJBUgIv8mCltGWO+vRkmQCgsv6G K7Coczm2HtVBPLeLVh00TfQ= =KcpQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+JT4jPe2tB4XGYJk6bEW-- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
