Jeff, would it be possible to queue patches #01-15 for 2.6.39 if there
are no further concerns with them (thus leaving the merging of

they look mostly safe& straight-forward compared to #16-21.
This seems to directly contradict what you wrote earlier in the thread,
This is why patches were posted to mailing list with a request
for a real hardware testing:
"All testing was done using QEMU's PIIX3 controller emulation
so any testing with real EFAR, IT8213, old PIIX, RDC and
Radisys R82600 PATA controllers would be really appreciated.."
instead of request for a merge. It was all there in initial
mail.
and
I do not really care that much if it will be merged ever
Regardless of this self-contradictory attitude, I do want useful patches
and many of these patches seem useful.
So I will continue watching the Bart/Alan/Sergei threads play out, and
then look at merging the result. In the midst of all the arguing,
productive work / forward progress is occurring, so the end result
should be positive.
It would be nice if we could get at least an "it works" test for the
older hardware, since those are the changes /least/ likely to be tested
by queueing to linux-next.
