It was not a cleanup patch, without it you could not get input events through netlink. I wonder, since udev is fairly closely tied to the kernel, meybe it woudl be beneficial just to fold it in. This way we could keep compatibility with older kernels and rapidly roll out never stuff. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
