Well, its not really that difficult, you just have to remember that x86 is not the whole world and touching generic code just might affect the other architectures - especially when the code you are touching is using stuff that is clearly implemented by the architectures. Posting stuff like this to linux-arch usually gets some attention (my apologies if you did so, I don't remember seeing it). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
