E-mail: eranian@hpl.hp.com Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello again, Due to the message size limit on this list. Part 1 and 2 got blocked. Unfortunately the common code patch cannot easily be split into chunks of less than 100KB, The core file which is entirely new is 120KB by itself. As a consequence, I strongly suggest that people interested in reviewing the code go the web site below to download the kernel patch. Thanks.
