Sorry, I've not been ignoring this, I've just not yet worked up the courage to apply it.

Still, what the heck, I'll go ahead and apply it. We can always revert it when people start screaming :) jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
