...s of the file as well. If you are thinking why do this now, off late we have seen quite a few changes that touched the "arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c" file but were not directed to me, someone else made me aware of those changes. It could be that my use of different SOB lines "Alok N Kataria" vs "Alok Kataria" confuses get_maintainer.pl, but adding this entry in MAINTAINERS should solve the problem at hand. For one of the changes [1], I did verify that get_maintainer.pl, now expectedly includes me in the cc list. Thanks, Alok [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m...

Please consider this patch to allow x2apic without IR support when running on VMware platform. Tested on top of 3.8-rc3. Thanks, Alok -- Allow x2apic without IR on VMware platform. From: Alok N Kataria <akataria at vmware.com> This patch updates x2apic initializaition code to allow x2apic on VMware platform even without interrupt remapping support. The hypervisor_x2apic_available hook was added in x2apic initialization code and used by KVM and XEN, before this. I have also cleaned up that...
