This is not a toy. The goal is not to continue modifying the kernel or make anybody's life hard. The contrary is true - I don't want any modifications. These are extremely simple patches to fix one pair of broken instructions in PVI mode. Coming from an x86 company, I'm betting Linus will get this in a nano-second. Let's not speak for him. -Kevin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
