that's fine, this is just RFC to see if there's obvious broken bits, etc. also, i still need to do some split out of the pit. it and hpet are nearly identical though, so i don't noticing any issues with this. the part i know is broken is lapic broadcast, so i'd like to fix that up too. trouble is, it's broken on vanilla too, so i'm not 100% sure what i'm debugging yet. thanks, -chris - 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/
