Re: [PATCH] Allow deferrable timers for intervals tv2-tv5 to be deferred

[ye janboe]

hi, Jon, Venki

This patch is same as Jouni Hogander's which has been acked by Venki
at 30 Jun 2008.
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-06/msg11866.html

why Jouni Hogander's patch could not be accepted by LKML?

Thanks

Janboe
