[PATCH] Ruby-2.6.8.1, part1, was:Re: Ruby-2.6.8[.1/.2]?

[Zoltan B. <zb...@fr...>]

The list settings for attachments is set to 150K, so my work did not
get through. :-( I am sending it again, one patch at a time, compressed
with bzip2 insted of gzip. The first patch is against Linux-2.6.8.1.

I had time to make it, here is the result.
Two patches: one is against linux-2.6.8.1,
the other is against the ruby/ruby-2.6 CVS tree.

WARNING!

The FB changes were highly excessive between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8
and I don't really know the code there, so fbcon, et.al does not
even compile.

But the vgacon and dummycon consoles are working so multiple X servers
are possible. I am running it now.

I have a question: do you intend to push this thing into Linus' or
akpm's kernel? I would be happy to see this in -mm because there are
many changes again in 2.6.8.1-mm3 against the areas the Ruby tree
touches.

Best regards,
