I defintively want to see something in the VM, but I also agree with Jens' decision not to include it in the patchkit. It's not really related to the patchkit except for depending on it, and we still have a lot of discussion going on. If we can't get an agreement with the VM people by the end of the regular merge window I'm all for pushing your simple patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
