It may be something worth considering adding to my nightly builder/boot testing, but I suspect that's impractical as it probably requires a BE userspace, which would then mean that the platform can't boot LE. I suspect that we will just have to rely on BE users staying around and reporting problems when they occur. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
