4.112. kabi-whitelists
An updated kabi-whitelists package that adds various enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The kabi-whitelists package contains reference files documenting interfaces provided by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel that are considered to be stable by Red Hat kernel engineering, and safe for longer term use by third party loadable device drivers, as well as for other purposes.

Note: It is not necessary to install the kabi-whitelists package in order to use Driver Updates. The kabi-whitelists package only provides reference files for use by those creating Driver Update packages, or for those who wish to enable support for verification of kernel ABI compatibility by installing the appropriate Yum plug-in.
All users of kabi-whitelists are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds these enhancements.
