So your first few mails were OK, but now you are coming close to 
a dozen emails in my mbox alone, and the thing is, there's over 
4,000 FIXME's in the kernel source:

  comet:~/tip> git grep -i FIXME | wc -l
  4415

These FIXME's are there to warn active developers about issues to 
work on - and they generally get removed when that code gets 
fixed or changes later on, typically without generating any 
separate commit. (Sometimes they don't get removed for a longer 
time - there's not much harm as eventually they will be removed.)

In other words: please stop this stream of mostly pointless 
emails! Instead of generating 4,000+ additional emails, please 
try to find some real bug to work on?

Thanks,

	Ingo
