Agreed. I went through the branch and the 11 patches there, reacquainted myself with what's what. So what we have now is 4 patches here plus a few others that in total replace v5 of your previous mmconfig patches in functionality. The question is what happens with the rest (of JC's branch let's say) - do they get sent out now too? > I will comment on the patches as soon as I have time to review > them, I certainly would like to understand what we have to do with the > rest of the code though (provided this series is good to go) see above. Right. That's my reason for asking. I'd like to know who is driving (I believe that to be Lorenzo) and what the path forward is, and whether we need to get additional support from anyone else. There's a multi-vendor meeting in the morning where I'm going to summarize the current state of these patches and I would like to know (soon) what the plan is so that we can get everyone on deck to help out at least with testing (most have tested the previous set, but we need public acks happening).
