Jack of all trades... My understanding is that downstream those are hacks and the intention is to have it automatically deal with that like pretty much all other drivers do so hacks won't be needed. I have no idea any form of timeline for that. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
