Andy has had complete misunderstandings about the series which seems to stem from x86's horrible hacks that have gone in has confused him. My series doesn't affect x86 at all and it's no reason why Andy's series to improve x86 can't be merged later. But that half finished series he keeps threatening with has been sitting there for almost a year now and it's gone nowhere, while there have been no unresolved technical objections to mine, it works, it's simple and small. I've kept trying to offer to help Andy with reviewing his stuff or fix the horrible x86 hacks, but nothing. So Un-Nacked-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx> Thanks, Nick
