Subject: Re: [Patch 1/5] xbox: add 'CONFIG_X86_XBOX' to kernel configuration

Why can't theese patches be maintained outside the kernel tree , as it is
now ?
I'm strongly against this because the X-Box is a gaming platform and last I
heard ( and I could be wrong here ) is that you had to hack your X-Box in
order to load any other os then the one supplied with it. I just don't see a
justified reason why theese patches should be included into the kernel.
