The 3.1 kernel is now unsupported, and this patch does apply to 3.2, so I added it there, but it does not apply to the 3.0 kernel at all, sorry. If you want me to apply it there, please provide a backported version. And if I shouldn't have applied it to 3.2, please let me know and I'll remove it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
