If 32bit archs need it then 64bit archs need it too (think 32bit emulated processes on 64bit jernels) But I think in practice it doesn't matter, so I would prefer to be consistent between 32bit and 64bit. I don't feel very strongly about this however ... -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
