But it still would be nice if you look at them when you're addressed directly. Please understand, maybe I'm abusing the list a little, but it looks like the best place to _archive_ the workarounds for this obscure platform. The code is of little use to general public, but in case one finds himself in the same situation as I am in, at least Google can help out. I think it happens too rare to justify your looking at them, and especially including them in the mainline, but hiding the code on my laptop isn't of any use to anyone (including me: I don't always have that laptop). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
