This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Revert "uio: fix vma io range check in mmap"
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "uio: fix vma io range check in mmap"
This reverts commit ddb09754e6c7239e302c7b675df9bbd415f8de5d.
Linus objected to this originally, I can see why it might be needed, but
given that no one spoke up defending this patch, I'm going to revert it.
If you have hardware that requires this change, please speak up in the
future and defend the patch.
