Subject: [PATCH 03/28] docs: virt: user_mode_linux.rst: update compiling instructions
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 07:02:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b678c16fb34280d844c278b8acfb2f53124f50ab.1581314316.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1581314316.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

Instead of pointing for a pre-2.4 and a seaparate patch,
update it to match current upstream, as UML was merged
a long time ago.
