So this is coming from trying to understand the "merge them together" part. Some people reading this it implies all the headers would be eventually merged into one big header and placed into include/uapi/linux. We are getting to the point where some sites are migrating from the out of tree branch to this client. This also means they will be moving external open source userland applications shortly. If we expose UAPI headers that are completely different that it breaks their tools users will dump this client and go back to the out source tree. We really like to avoid that. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
