Not quite -- x86-64 did HPET long before i386; the only stuff cowed was the character driver support code. But the core HPET code was always totally different code streams. We never did the complicated pluggable clock code i386 did though -- i never quite saw the point of that because there aren't that many timers there. Of course it is already obsolete with clocksources now. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
