I don't like this :-) Not because you put x86_64 stuff in there, I know we can abstract all of that stuff out. But rather, it's clear that we shouldn't be doing anything in any IRQ context besides figuring out the final receiver of the packet and queueing it, that's it. This pushes all the work to the user context on that user's cpu. That very naturally will make full use of things like HT and SMT. Let's be patient on this one :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
