Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lguest: do not statically allocate root device
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2008 11:51:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1228737106-20034-1-git-send-email-markmc@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <>
Apparently we shouldn't be statically allocating the root device
object, so dynamically allocate it instead.
