Updated kabi-whitelists packages that add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The kabi-whitelists packages contain reference files documenting interfaces provided by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel that are considered to be stable by Red Hat engineering, and safe for long-term use by third-party loadable device drivers, as well as for other purposes.
