Right, yes. To that end, would you recommend a specific mailing
list
other than lkml to start on for just the x86 folks, or is lkml really the
best bet for that?
Just the usual rules as per MAINTAINERS:
To: Thomas Gleixner <tglx(a)linutronix.de>
Ingo Molnar <mingo(a)redhat.com>
"H. Peter Anvin" <hpa(a)zytor.com>
CC: x86(a)kernel.org, lkml
CC: roland(a)redhat.com, kmcmartin(a)redhat.com
Yeah, I'm all for that; I just think upstreaming this is going to
take
longer than either of our next release cycles. :)
Yeah, well, it's taken us several cycles to get around to bothering to try.
At any rate, IMHO a series/branch of patches proposed upstream is the thing
we'll want to share. Even if it's not all (or any) merged upstream soon
(or ever), that process will yield cleaned-up and granular patches that are
better to maintain (and to share across distros) as well as being better to
merge if the NAKers relent.
Thanks,
Roland
