In other words, current -git is fine, and was already confirmed by Sven to fix the bug (before *any* of your patches were), and was earlier confirmed to fix the AIM7 performance regression (better than *any* of your patches were). So I fixed the problems last night already. Stop wasting everybody's time. Linus --
