Dear Graeme Russ,

I have two x86 tidy-up patch series that I intend to apply in the next 2-3 weeks to a 'next' branch on the x86 repo. Being 'next', these patches are intended for the current merge window which closes on December 12
You confuse me.
Currently the merge window is closed. The next release is scheduled for December 12. ONly then, the _next_ merge window will open.
Oops, what you're saying is what I meant - next merge window
Please be aware that the latest series (checkpatch cleanup) is designed to be applied first, but it was actually created _after_ the 'Various x86 cleanups' series and hence, there is a wee little bit of incompatibility between the two (and silly me should have called the latest one v0 as well...). The conflicts aren't so bad - I already have them resolved but the second series is not checkpatch clean yet. Before I apply this series to 'next' I will be posting a unified patch set in the next week or so - It will be a 12 part series which will line up 1-to-1 so I'll be setting the in-reply-to to thread from the current patches. In the meantime, please:
This being mostly cleanup, and we still being relatively early in the stabilization phase, I would also accept this stuff now.
OK - There is only one patch that adds new 'features' - The 'Add multiboot header' but that's just some canned static data, no code
- Have a look at the two independent series and let me know if there is
any glaring issues I need to address
I will, time permitting.
Thanks
- Let me know if you need more than two weeks
?
- Be prepared to rebase any current x86 patches against 'next' in three
weeks time (unless otherwise informed)
?
Gabe, going by this schedule, there will be a good two weeks between the x86 cleanup hitting 'next' and the merge window closing - I think this
Which merge window are you talking about?
Sorry for the confusion - I intend to get Gabe's patches into x86/next as soon as the next merge window opens on December 12
Regards,
Graeme
