PS:
two tips:
- use "reply to all" when you reply to a message in the lkml
- when you quote previous discussion, place your answer below the quote, 
instead of above ;)
These things are common courtesy & practice on the lkml.
(see: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/ for reference)

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in
the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
