Success report with nearly 2.6.1-rc2-mm1 and udev

[Mathieu Segaud]

As I run an iBook, and I want to test things in -mm trees, I maintain
my own kernel by applying Benjamin Herrenschmidt -ben* patch and
almost everything that is not non-ppc architecture exclusively
specific; my kernel is basically a 2.6.1-rc3 with most of 2.6.1-rc2-mm1 changes
and all Ben's changes. If you want my series file, I can provide it.
I write this to report plain success with udev and alsa,oss  nodes, and mouse
nodes.

I tried, weeks ago, some patches to get sound nodes in /udev btu it
gave me some weird oopses. Currently, it works great :)
Notice that I don't get any more oops with sysfs-add-vc-class.patch
applied.
Congratulations for giving us such a fun kernel :)
