Hi Benny,

I was already scolded about this by a few folks. I had not located the
git email programs when I submitted this project and I wrote something
myself to submit them. (see attached). I have thrown the program in the
trash I wrote to do this and moved to git.

Now I have reviewed the git clients and patch tools and I understand and
will use git and I see now why git works this way with the reply chain. I
will not be submitting patch series on this list for every release unless
the code has had major additions or changes in the future. I will
instead post the patches to the project site with a single post on this
list to point to the patches.

I will post patch series when x86_64 is finished and I have completed my
rewrite of traps_32.c and traps_64.c -- Linux needs nested TSS gates over
all the exceptions so the system can handle nested exceptions and switch
to a known good stack during faults. At present, what's there is ok but
not as resilient as it could be.

Jeff
