Any good way we can bring this patch forward? Currently it causes 9 rejects in -mm, and I understand why you are not inclined to fix that up. I can see clashes with at least LOCKMETER, SCHEDSTATS and KGDB in -mm. Would it be better to divide it in smaller parts? o lib/Kconfig.debug o i386 specific changes o ia64 specific changes o architectures that do not cause rejects in -mm + -vanilla o etc. The rejects may still be present, but make it easier to pick what applies, and drop the rest for now. Along the lines of Kconfig.drivers - but hopefully introduced a bit faster. Sam
