I'm OK with merging patches and given lguest's newness, the timestamp on these patches, the fact that they don't change code generation (right?) and my reluctance to carry large do-nothing patches for two months, I'd be OK with squeaking them into 2.6.23. But I worry that you're proposing adding what appears to be new Documentation-related machinery and infrastructure when there's already increased activity in that area from other people and we might all be headed in different directions and stuff. So first I think we'd best form a kernel kommittee and mull this for a while (preferably months) to screw you around as much as poss, OK? ;) Items for consideration would be: - if this stuff is good, shouldn't other code be using it? If so, is this new infrastructure in the correct place? - if, otoh, this infrastructure is _not_ suitable for other code, well, what was wrong with it? - if the requirement is good, perhaps alternative implementations should be explored (dunno what). IOW, I'd be interested in hearing Rob and Randy's opinions on it all, please. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
