I've heard no complaints that new syscalls are not being added to the ia32 compat side ... which is an indication that people are not actively using this. Some OSDs have been building with this turned off for a while now (perhaps in preparation for "Montecito" which no longer has h/w support for the x86 instruction set, or perhaps because it represnts a huge block of lightly/barely tested code that will have its share of support issues). I suppose I should do this by adding an entry to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Any thoughts on the timeline for this? Is Dec 31, 2006 too soon? (or not soon enough!?). -Tony - : 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
