So as Glauber said the reason was that we wanted to use simply operators, and IIRC he wanted to add a few fields that had to be u64. I'm not sure what the current plans are wrt adding more fields, but with your work cputime_t should again be a simple type and thus regular math operators should work again, right? Glauber, do you still need to add fields? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
