I re-submitted the allocation request two weeks ago (31st October). I haven't heard anything yet. I suppose since static device nodes in /dev are rare these days (since everyone moved to udev) we can just squat on some device number for the time being, or settle for requesting a dynamic one at boot time and require use of udev for anyone who cares about the device node. We already settled for that with /dev/xen/evtchn, for example. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
