Please accept my apologies. I went through the content, pointed out the other two non x86 patches and did not notice the vsprintf one. My bad. > PS. And no, maybe I don't always notice.

And I have no intention to sneak stuff in that way. Conclusions: 1) add diffstat to the pull request generator 2) add alert about non x86 stuff to it and send it separate 3) postpone pull requests to the morning hours, even if time is short Thanks, tglx
