Odd. I thought Paul had picked up a docbook RapidIO patch from you in
the latest merge round.


Well it's more than "a" patch. The six-week-old patch series is:

rapidio-add-memory-mapping-driver-to-rapidio.patch
rapidio-add-rapidio-space-allocation-bitmap-arithmetic.patch
rapidio-add-fsl-rapidio-controller-memory-ops-functions.patch
rapidio-add-the-rapidio-master-port-maintance-and-doorbell-window- to-space-resources.patch
rapidio-add-rapidio-proc-fs-for-memory-mapping-debugging.patch
rapidio-add-the-memory-mapping-support-in-rionet-driver.patch
rapidio-fix-docbook-references.patch
rapidio-fix-kernel-doc-problems.patch

What happened is that you (Andrew) sent them on to me pretty much
unexamined. I took a look at them and dropped one of them because it
created a new /proc file. I asked Kumar to look at them and he had
issues with another three of the patches, and dropping those meant
that all the following ones (including the fix-kernel-doc one)
wouldn't apply, so I dropped them too. I applied the rest and sent
them to Linus.

(seems that I forgot to cc Jeff on the rionet change too).

Yeah. I nearly dropped that one too. I probably should have. :)

Oh well. If nobody puts their hand up in the next 24 hours or so I'll just
send it all in to Linus.

Please don't. At this stage I think the best thing is for Kumar to
talk to Zhang Wei (they both work for Freescale, so that should be
possible in theory :) and get him to rework the remaining patches as
required for inclusion in 2.6.27.

Just to be clear, the docbook changes shouldn't wait for 2.6.27.
There's no need for that.

Can the docbook be respun against linus's tree?
