Does this branch also include the suspend-to-disk / resume-from-disk code from the lemote 2.6.27 STD branch? From a user's perspective, what are the loongson-oriented improvements of this branch over the existing 2.6.27 branch? I'd also like to know if: (a) the ec-modules and (b) the rtl8187b code that is currently separate from the main lemote linux 2.6.27 git (the former in a git repository, the later only in a .tar.gz file as far as I know) is included in the 2.6.29.3 branch now. I can of course check this via git when I have internet access next, but I'm guessing you would be able to provide context beyond just the code changes to the answers of these questions :-) Oh, and one last thing - is compilation with the lemote-patched binutils / "-mfix-gs2f-kernel" "-mfix-ls2f-kernel" (I'm told these did the same things, the name just changed for some reason - currently I'm using a binutils / as that understands the "-mfix-ls2f-kernel" option) still needed? Without this in the 2.6.27 branch, and esp. with the ec-modules, there were very frequent hard linux crashes (sysrq keys not working). BTW for me, this is interesting in the context of http://config.fsf.org/trac/public/wiki/RmsLinuxForYou , which I have several people helping me test at the moment - currently the biggest issue is hard crashes every day or other day, or more frequently if there is a lot of disk or usb I/O.
