Same as for the Intel ones - unless you are a dosemu or, in a lesser extent, Wine user - nothing except for fixing the small "information leak". If you are the dosemu user however, then this patch adds a lot. Whether or not it adds something for the VMWare users I can't say, since I am not the one of them, but my guess is that it can help with the DOS programs under it. - 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/
