My kernel changelog
At this page I collect the kernel changelog entries that refer to my work. I try to keep it complete but if you find something missing please
send me a mail. Sometimes my patches are resend by other people, in this cases I also log the name of the sender here.
For newer changes I'll include links to the commit diffs on kernel.org once I find time to dig them out.
