Alan, a few things that I think should be in (and for the next rc ?) -
1) Force inline for >= gcc 3.3
2) -march= for pentium3/4
3) Radeon 9k support
4) Junk the chipset id'ing in agp_support.h
(Not in DRI/DRM mainline and not in 2.5)

I agree on the march support. I've been using my own trivial patch for
the i386 Makefile to have direct support for the P3 and P4. Just trying
to figure out whether adding sse2 support on the compile line will
create problems. GCC does not use SSE(2) unless you explicitly tell it to.

This looks a lot like an announcement, except from the wrong person.
Any chance you could preface it with "Re:" or "about"?

and should only make a difference for floating point code.
Which the kernel doesn't use.
This was brought up a few weeks back on the list.

Sorry WLI , my bad :-(
Forgot to say that a patch file was attached in may original mail.

Easy: do _not_ turn on gcc's sse(2) support, when building the kernel.
