I should've also *STRESS* that with all current Itanium processor out there, including upcoming Montecito processor, no patch will be done with this set of patch. The default value is what the hardware has. There are *NO* processor exist as of today (including tomorrow, and next month, and next year) that has physical stack register other than 96 (which is what is encoded in the instruction right now). - Ken - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
