I generall like this consolidation, but for the patches that remote the arch / asm-generic versions, can you please elaborate a little more why the lib version is preferable? The current commit logs are not very informative.
Indeed. I do remember writing the patches last year thinking "this should really get fixed", but apparently I failed to describe the actual problem at the time. I have gone through it again and annotated what I found now, but I have a feeling that there were additional problems with the old code that I still did not capture. Sending v2 now: same code, more text. Arnd
