I _assume_ that it switches i386 over to using the (undescribed) generic core, and it does that merely by implementing read_persistent_clock(). But I'd have expected to see some Kconfig change in there as well? Does this implementation support all forms of persistent clock which are known to exist on i386 platforms? If/when you issue new changelogs, please describe what has to be done to port other architectures over to use this overall framework. Do ports for other architectures exist? - 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/
