No I don't think it does, so far the only archs using the RCU stuff are ppc,sparc and s390 and none of those needed that (Xen might join them soon though). But I will have to look and consider this more carefully. I 'lost' most of the ppc/sparc/s390 details from memory to say this with any certainty. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
