Anyway, not a word on m32r patches in that pile. Folks, this is the final warning - I *will* send a pull request on the stuff currently in linux-next as soon as the merge window opens. It had been sitting there for a long time by now and you've all been Cc'd on that thread all along.
IMHO, Al has done a great job reaching out to the architecture maintainers with this round of changes. I think it should be a model for any kind of similar tree-wide work. -- Chris Metcalf, Tilera Corp. http://www.tilera.com
