Jens has updated the FIO syslet code to work on 64-bit too. (kernel/async.c was pretty 64-bit clean already, it needed minimal changes for basic x86_64 support.) - 32-bit user-space on 64-bit kernel compat support. 32-bit syslet and threadlet binaries work fine on 64-bit kernels. - various cleanups and simplifications the v4->v5 delta is: 17 files changed, 327 insertions(+), 271 deletions(-) amongst the plans for v6 are cleanups/simplifications to the syslet engine API, a number of suggestions have been made for that already. the linecount increase in v5 is mostly due to the x86_64 port. The ABI had to change again - see the async-test userspace code for details. the x86_64 patch is a bit monolithic at the moment, i'll split it up further in v6. As always, comments, suggestions, reports are welcome!
