Or something like that. It's pretty contrived, and I really doubt that anyone's going to try to cobble together a kernel like that. Or maybe there's a better reason... - 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/
