Please resend this: - Express the commit in the conventional fashion e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd") - So that we all don't have to go look up the commit to find out what happened. - So people can look up the commit in other trees, where the hash might change. - Cc the people who wrote and committed the patch. - The offending commit has cc:stable, so have a think about adding a cc:stable to this one as well. - The title is cute, but not terribly informative.
