I'm not good with names :-) Note that there also might be cases where using such a memcpy variant might be the wrong thing to do. For example, for a very tightly coupled CMT cpu implementation which has the memory controller, L2 cache, PCI controller, etc. all on the same die and the PCI controller makes use of the L2 cache just like the cpu threads do, using this kind of memcpy would always be the wrong thing to do. - 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
