Yea, I had some earlier ideas for it, although they were misconceived. My plan at the moment is to do it similarly to how x86-64 and my i386 patch did it, but still have it on an arch-per-arch basis. > Also on x86-64 we plan to keep the cycle time base per CPU, that > will likely require some more changes to your architecture too. I like to hear more details, if you can discuss it. Its interesting, because I don't quite see how you'd be able to do this. thanks -john - 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/
