See the series around this patch when I last posted it. For for now various drivers use different ways of spreading them, so we'll need to make it opt-in in the beginning. In the long run we'll hopefully have everyone converted to the common algorithm and can get rid of the flag, but that might take a while. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
