Subject: CONFIG_X86_INTEL_USERCOPY and MCYRIXIII?

I tried it on my EPIA board and it works. Is there a good reason it's
not allowed by Kconfig?

config X86_INTEL_USERCOPY
bool
depends on MPENTIUM4 || MPENTIUMM || MPENTIUMIII || MPENTIUMII
|| M586MMX || X86_GENERIC || MK8 || MK7 || MEFFICEON
default y

Do you have numbers that show its worthwhile ?
The last time I tried it, it wasn't.

No, I figured I'd ask before benchmarking it. Thanks for the info.
