Isnt this an old patchset with a sizable -mm track record? In that case i'd suggest sending this to Linus now. The only arch it affects non-trivially is ia64 and that bit has been acked by Tony. And if it breaks lockdep everyone will notice quickly ;-) Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
