Yea. I'll finish testing and add the version bump. I wanted some public
review time first.
BTW: I try to post patches with "RFC" when I'm soliciting review and
plan to resubmit. If I think its ready to go, I'll put the kernel
version where it's targeted, like "2.6.27" for now. Is that the
correct process?
Thanks!
Steve.
