[LinuxPPS] Patches for linuxPPS.

[clemens at dwf.com]

Just some more information.
In a reply to a previous note to this list:

     Re[LInuxPPS] how to tell if LinuxPPS and GPS are updating

I listed what I was doing to get a running kernel/ntp.
I noted that the two patches from Rodolfo that I included in the note would 
probably
be included in the distributed kernel 'real soon'

I just received an e-mail from the kernel folks (greghk) saying that these 
patches
were now in the 2.6.31-stable tree.  So it looks like we are making progress,- 
if
there is a 2.6.31,7 (or 2.6.32, whichever is next) those patches should be 
there.

That said, I have a question for Rodolfo (if he has read this far) what is 
happening
with the other patch?  That was waiting for the kernel folks to decide if they 
really
wanted to do this serial interface with the ldisc thing ( TIOSETD) or some 
different
interface.  Any further exchanges on this front???
