Ping.

Can you explain to me what's with all the pinging?

Does your patchset contain anything urgent that needs immediate review
and handling or is it something which is a nice idea but needs to be
reviewed very carefully because it is asm entry code which is always a
pain and careful review cannot be done when rushing people?


Hello

It is not urgent nor it is something should be put in cold cellar.
Please consider queuing the first three patches at least.

It is cold for a week, I think a ping is proper than a resending.

The asm entry code is always a pain and this patchset gives a start in
future with reduced asm code and pain because some future changes might
be redirected from asm to the C hopefully.

Thanks
Lai
