There cannot be any arguments concerning parallel access as far as I can see, there is a single set of registers to program this address into therefore we cannot allow more than one entity to get into the counter fetch sequence at the same time anyways. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
