Re: [PATCH -v10 0/4] Lock-less list

I'm trying to remember why we're talking about this.

You had an ACPI-based "hardware error reporting" thing. And that
required an nmi-context memory allocator. And that required a
"lockless" list implementation.

Yes?

If so, what happened to all of that? I assume that the facilities
which this patch series adds will be used for "hardware error reporting"?
