Hmm, would this apply to us, too? ;-) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 12:16:29 +1000 From: Greg Ungerer <gerg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, gerg@xxxxxxxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PATCH] m68knommu: ColdFire add support for kernel preemption From: Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption on m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to 68360 & 68328 but since I don't have the HW for testing, I don't touch it.
