If you are thinking why do this now, off late we have seen quite a few changes that touched the "arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c" file but were not directed to me, someone else made me aware of those changes. It could be that my use of different SOB lines "Alok N Kataria" vs "Alok Kataria" confuses get_maintainer.pl, but adding this entry in MAINTAINERS should solve the problem at hand. For one of the changes [1], I did verify that get_maintainer.pl, now expectedly includes me in the cc list. Thanks, Alok [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137571112610984&w=2 >>From : Alok Kataria Add an entry in MAINTAINERS file to reflect the authors of a file.
