Can you rediff this once 3.8-rc1 is out and send it to me then? That way we can get a lot more testing in linux-next in order to make sure it's ready for 3.9? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
