And new_id doesn't need it either. > If so, feel free to ignore the comment and add: > Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> > > Thanks a lot for doing this, it is much needed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Add sysfs ABI docs for driver entries bind, unbind and new_id. These entries are pretty old, from 2.6.0 onwards AFAIK, so this documents current behaviour.
