If your approach isn't overly intrusive (i.e. doesn't require changes to all files containing module parameters, or such), maybe you could make a patch for 2.4.x and wave it a little under Linus' nose. Maybe he likes the scent ;-) In any case, once it's in 2.5.x, and if it is as useful as I suspect it to be, it would probably be back-ported to 2.4 sooner or later. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, ICA, EPFL, CH Werner.Almesberger@epfl.ch / /_IN_N_032__Tel_+41_21_693_6621__Fax_+41_21_693_6610_____________________/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
