Subject: [PATCH] remove compat code for old devfs naming scheme
Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 12:53:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020514125339.A23979@infradead.org> (raw)

Hi Richard,

current init/do_mounts.c contains the devfs_make_root/convert_name
functions which provide compatiblility for the old, pre kernel-merge
devfs naming scheme in the root= kernel command line.

As this was never present in official kernels there is really no need
in keeping it - it just bloats the kernel.

Could you please forward this patch to Linus and maybe Marcelo with
your next devfs update?

	Christoph
