Patch is in Paulus -next already so we'll have to do a manual resolve.Who has to do it? My code should "win".Do you have your own tree or is all your stuff in the main kvm tree? If there is a powerpc KVM tree, I could pull that and resolve the conflict, but I don't want to pull all the queued up KVM stuff.It's just the main KVM tree.quoted
Worst case is Linus gets to resolve the conflict in the merge window. If that's just a matter of him taking your version of the file, it should be within his powers to manage. :)Yeah, that's what I meant by "win"... whatever changes Ben made are to now-dead code, so the code in kvm.git should be used. Does Linus need special instruction to do this, or how does that work?
ppc44x_defconfig now fails to build in my tree because of _tlbil_all being undefined (it has CONFIG_KVM=y), so I need some sort of fix. What would happen if I made arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c look like the version from the KVM tree? Paul.
