There's not exactly a lot of GPL'ed goodness hidden behind them!Agreed, and in general, my suspicion is that for upstream merge, we have to make sure that we're not changing the license constraints of any existing EXPORT_SYMBOL(). The whole EXPORT_SYMBOL thing is pretty insane anyway. Given that the whole kernel is GPL, the concept of non-GPL hooks is a legal nonsense (or the GPL itself is a legal nonsense). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
