too. I saw Greg also picked up the commit.
That is the ARM part of the whole cpuinit feature removal, so if that's being backported to the 3.10 stable kernel then none of my patch is needed and we can just ignore it and get on with other things :-)
Greg doesn't backport this commit to 3.10 now, but I saw it is included in 3.11 stable branch. What our policy for such issues, Mark?
In this case the ideal thing would be to cherry-pick it back and then submit it to Greg, picking it up once Greg has applied it - I strongly suspect that the reason he didn't pull it back was that it didn't apply cleanly due to other changes. However just applying Tixy's change and noting that it corresponds to the upstream commit is OK for resolving this issue. We can also do both, things should merge down cleanly.
Thanks a lot, Mark. Will try to cherry-pick related commit on greg's tree first tomorrow. and talk this issue with Greg. If the reason is like your guess. :) we can do the second solution.
Thanks again for your comments!
