Hmm, I thought I had already replied to this but it appears that I haven't. I really like this approach and think it's a major improvement on what we're already doing on OMAP and a few other ARM platforms. This approach is done in a way that's significantly easier to maintain and extend IMO. As a next step, I think you should drop the RFC and split it up into a few series that can go via the right trees: - asm-generic and lib/devres (patches 1, 2, 4) - drivers/sram (patch 3) - generic PIE: (patch 5) - core PIE: (patch 5-8) - AM33xx support (patch 9-11) Kevin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
