There's still a lot to do so I hope we can work together. I'm not convinced it's the _fastest way_. You're effectively invalidating all the work done under drivers/staging so you might end up in review limbo with your shiny new code... AFAICT, your best bet is to first clean up zcache under driver/staging and get that promoted under mm/zcache.c. You can then move on to the more controversial ramster and figure out where to put the clustering code, etc. Pekka -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
