The merge window is open. Linus Torvalds added a lot of source code today.

I released the alpha1 of kernel 4.3 with the new source code from the git.

Hi All,

Linus Torvalds added a lot of source code again today. Therefore I compiled a new test version for our AmigaONE X1000.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-alpha2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Unfortunately the size of our Nemo patch increased a bit because of the code changes in the interrupt system.

Many many thanks!

Could you please test the alpha5 too? The kernel developers added the DRM fbdev emulation as default. I don't know if it works with every Radeon HD graphics card.

Download: vmlinux-4.3-alpha5-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

Thank you in advance.
