[LinuxPPS] Report on linuxPPS.

[Luca Bertagnolio]

Hi Reg, hi team,

I am trying to catch up on the status of LinuxPPS right now, and I 've seen
the new patches from Rodolfo, which I should be applying shortly to
my test machines.

What I am not quite clear on is what Reg says here:

and the resulting discussion, after which I've seen this other message
with a "Mea Culpa":

and the following question from Rodolfo:

So the question now is, shall I just patch the 2.6.31 kernel with the
patch supplied by Rodolfo, or shall I also dig out the smaller patches
related to ASSERT and CLEAR?

Thanks and ciao,

Luca
