Ah, good, sanity prevails! > NHM/WSM-EX are complete different from SNB/IVB/HSW-EX Yeah, NHM/WSM-EX are different from pretty much anything. Where do NHM/WSM-EP fall? I know they're radically different to the EX parts but are they similar again to the SNB/IVB/HSW EP parts? If not we'd have 3 groups: NHM/WSM-EP NHM/WSM-EX SNB/IVB/HSW -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
