Hello Rusty,
To avoid sending the same patches again, this time I'm trying a git pull
request.
Please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amit/vs-kernel.git for-rusty
to get the patches that I've sent to the list previously, with a couple
of fixes:
- Create a console port when not using multiport (fix was sent as a
reply to prev. series)
- Add hunk that got inadvertently reverted during git rebase operations
(thanks Juan).
The diff to the v6 version is attached below:
diff --git a/drivers/char/virtio_console.c
b/drivers/char/virtio_console.c
