Okay, I now realize that the stable kernel patch ("powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling") will break the ppc64 build for hosts that don't have that depmod patch. So, pending any further discussion here, I'm going to drop this from 4.2 and 3.19 -stable after all: c153693d powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling Sasha, note that you have this queued-up for 4.1 and 3.18 -stable. You might consider dropping it also. -Kamal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
