That's actually a larger goal, but for the immediate future, I figure this would be a good first step. Start out by stating what's similar, and then build off of this for something bigger. But in the mean time, we can have a staging ground for work that's for both i386 and x86_64 archs. And for those that know these systems in a more intimate way (Andi :) they can work off of this to make that monster. -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
