Oh I completely agree. It's just that the efforts so far to do this has caused a big #include mess that we are currently in.

If others can come up with cleaner splits of the code, I incourage it. thanks, greg k-h - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
