The worst is I think an uncached load for blackfin or somesuch. There's plenty archs that do not support the jump label bits, but typically you don't care much about those. I'm not aware of an arch that cannot fundamentally implement jump_label support if they wanted to. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
