One quick question - Since I am currently the only x86 developer, how do you want to handle the SOB + Ack'd for x86 patches? I feel that to date be applying my patches you have implied your own Ack'd By. Should I wait for you (or somebody else) to Ack them before I apply them to the x86 repo?
Not necessarily. As long as it's clearly architecture specific code only, just post the patche son the ML and allow for a number of days (I think 3 working days should be the minimum, 5 is almost always enough) and then feel free to apply them.
I am more than happy (and would prefer) my patches to remain out of the x86 repo until formally Ack'd
You need a number of x86 developers to get useful technical input; I don't know much about x86 so all I can usually is do is look at formal things like coding style violations and such :-(
Best regards,
