Yes, but almost all files in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/ depend on CONFIG_X86_32. Here is an example for similiar implementations: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c:static void __cpuinit init_amd(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) arch/x86/kernel/setup_64.c:static void __cpuinit init_amd(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c) The question is, will there be a CPU specific file such as amd.c? -Robert -- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
