DaveM is really responsive -- if you propose using the generic implementation on SPARC, I bet he'd either ack it or tell you why SPARC needs to be special. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
