I don't think it's that much cleanup. One of my goals for x86-64 was always to have it support modern x86 only; this means in particularly most of the old bug workaround removed. With the APIC timer merging a lot of that crap gets back in. I would prefer to keep APIC code separate. -Andi - 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/
