Subject: [PATCH CPA] [27/28] CPA: Change comments of external interfaces to kerneldoc format
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:24:42 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080103152442.BA56414E23@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080103424.989432000@suse.de>
And clarify description a bit.
Only for 64bit, but the interfaces are identical for 32bit and kerneldoc should
merge them (?)
