Kyle,
dude, you rock!
Many thanks for doing that.

I just wanted to warn that some of the changes are already in akpm
's tree (-mm).
Becuase off hand I've forgotten which ones, would it be better to
diff against -mm instead?

thanks,
grant

hm.  A couple of those patches have been futzing around in -mm for over a
year and have been nacked by Jeff and are a regular source of grumpygrams.

Jeff/Val seemed willing to merge the fixes as they stood. parisc-linux
merged Francois' tulip workqueue patch some time ago, and have been
running with it since without issue. This defers the tulip_select_media
work to process context, and so should be less of an issue.

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for splitting these out.  Could you do us a favor and post the
patches themselves?  I'm not the only one who doesn't use git, and it
will be a lot less confusing if we can directly ack the patches in
email instead of referring to them third-hand.  Thanks,

-VAL

Good to hear.  That's definitely my preference for future direction...
