Is it enormous?Yeah, I''ve been waiting for its arrival in my inbox, too. And no, it''s only 22k (far less than e.g. the ACPI one). Let me resend it.>> 02: VT-d: section adjustments to quirks code >> 03: VT-d: section adjustments to DMAR parsing code > >> 04: x86: cleanup mpparse.c >> 05: ACPI: large cleanup >> 06: x86: APIC cleanup >> 07: x86: IO-APIC cleanup > > Is it worth diverging from Linux upstream on these?

Is it enormous?I resent it twice - once to the list, and a second time to you directly. Did either of them arrive in your inbox?

I guess it''s getting silently filtered sender side for some reason. -- Keir> Jan >_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
