Given that git history starts at 2.6.12-rc2, and this was introduced in 2.5 kernels, there's no point me looking, because I know the history I have access to does not go back to that time.

Estimation in database were 13.1 to 19Mbit for a good line, about 7.5+ for a bad. Estimate before purchase was "up to 13.2Mbit". -- 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
