[User-mode-linux-devel] Host kernel patch into 2.2.x?

[William S. <wst...@po...>]

Good afternoon, Jeff et al,
	Quick question - Have you approached Alan Cox about including that
short patch necessary for the host kernel in 2.2.x, x>15?  I know it's way
too late for 2.2.15, but it would mean that future 2.2 kernel users could
use uml without having to recompile the kernel.  Despite my best efforts
to make that possible (Buildkernel, in my .sig), I strongly suspect most
people stay with whatever their distribution provides and never compile
their own.
	Does that patch fall in the category of "iffy, development kernel
only", or "so trivially correct that it could very well make it into
2.2.x"?
	Cheers,
	- Bill
