RE: [PATCH v2 00/17] NTB: Add NTB hardware abstraction layer

From: Allen Hubbe
Date: Thu May 21 2015 - 10:46:03 EST


The patches in this set (v2) reply to a different message id than the
cover letter I sent. Please pardon my mistake. Other than that, I hope
the patches are ok this time around.

I wrote the cover letter, and then kept the same copy after fixing a few
more things. This has the email id of the cover letter generated before
the fixes.

I should have instead copied the subject line and body into the new cover
letter that was generated for the fixed patch set. Now I have learned my
lesson.

In addition to the email id, the diff stat is also for the patch set that
I didn't send, before the last fixes. The diff stat doesn't differ by
much. If anybody cares, here is the exact diff stat for the v2.

Finally, I've faked the email id of this message, so the patches appear to
reply to this one. I hope this will clean up any threading for people who
use that feature in their email clients.
