The tool is quite easy to write. Would you like me to write such a tool in a day or two? It would look very similar to what the mdesc sysfs kernel patch looked like, in fact much of the code would look identical. The problem with the Linux/sparc port is resources, I'm the only maintainer and I devote all of the spare time I have for kernel patch review. I know you really want to prove me wrong, and that this is very important to you for some reason. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
