(turning it into nops like we used to have on ppc until now, if the option isn't set). I really don't want to mess with that racy mecanism that makes sense for ISA only afaik, and it seems some drivers are trying to use it now that it's there (/me looks toward yenta_socket) and I'm afraid of the consequences since I cannot see how that thing can work properly in the first place ;) Ben. - 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/
