Hi,

Can anyone shed some light about current state of this (https://lwn.net/Articles/546840/) and

potential impact on SS4000-E, Lanner EM720 and the likes? More precisely:

- Is it going to be removed or not (as Linus had objections)

- Would that affect these boxes?

I mean the Debian .config for 3.2.x do enable NWFPE and I haven't tried deselecting it, anybody knows?

Thanks and best regards,

Maciej Soltysiak
