[manjaro-dev] [3.12.4] some weird regression got introduced

[Philip Müller]

Hi Rob,

those patches are already nicely packed into a single tarball which I 
already sent to Greg in my previous e-mail.
You find it as:

attachment-0001.bin  <http://lists.manjaro.org/pipermail/manjaro-dev/attachments/20131210/c7b29455/attachment-0001.bin>

Simply rename it to:

linux312-extramodules-regression-files.tar.xz

sha1sum would be:

8f3484848a41f0df470a574d560bdbfba56d49bb 
linux312-extramodules-regression-files.tar.xz

kind regards

Phil
