Suggestions for > better naming are welcome. > Hi Ross, Say, most of the places (file names, function and variable names, and even print statements) where this patchset uses hmem or HMEM, it really seems to mean, the Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table. That's not *always* true, but given that it's a pretty severe naming conflict, how about just changing: hmem --> hmat HMEM --> HMAT ...everywhere? Then you still have Heterogeneous Memory in the name, but there is enough lexical distance (is that a thing? haha) between HMM and HMAT to keep us all sane. :) With or without the above suggestion, there are a few places (Kconfig, comments, prints) where we can more easily make it clear that HMM != HMEM (or HMAT), so for those I can just comment on them separately in the individual patches. thanks, john h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
