This seems to have moved under Processor Type with 2.6.18-rt7. Was that on purpose? In 2.6.18-rt6 I turned on HRT support, left 1000 nanoseconds for the timing, but did not enable dynamic ticks since I wasn't sure it was OK on AMD64. Should I be using DynTicks with an AMD64 single processor? With a dual-processor? On 2.6.18-rt7 it seems there is no time value setting or it's been moved somewhere I haven't found. does that 1000 nanosecond time setting still apply?
