Thanks a lot for the patches.
I know that the kernel documentation is now a little bit more liberal
about not having to use real names, but "well established identities"
being fine, but stil ... would you mind submitting this under some more
comprehensible authorship? (anonymous submissions are still not allowed,
BTW).
utzcoz doesn't really sound too well established identity to me,
unfortunately ... if it is, I'd be happy to stay corrected.
Thanks again,
