Hi Mike,

Don't blame you for being lazy, maintainership is not a fun task. I do not
have a cross compile environment so could not compile test Blackfin so
I really would be interested in such. I don't want to rely on linux-next if at
all possible as I already tried that once - unsuccessfully.

The three architectures I would really like to get compile tested and feedback
from the maintainers are: ARM, Blackfin, and H3/800. To compile test
Blackfin would only require pulling in patches 01/16 and 10/16 (which would
be the same for H3/800) so if that wouldn't be too much of a pain I would really
appreciate it. I do not have a branch from which you could pull but I
am willing
to look into such and give it a try.

Myron
