Typo, "slleeping".

[PATCH] for ARCH=um, optionaly give a path for the vde installation.

Hi.

I use uml with vde. The kernel links against libvdeplug.a and automatically find it. But i would like to
manually give its path.

So i made a patch for being able to give the VDE_PREFIX when we call make.

I wonder if this patch could be included in the mainstream kernel, or if there is a better way of doing it.

Could you give me your opinion please ?

Regards .

Paul.

This syntax is used to specify additional compile options for vde_user.o.
