I don't care about what style of assembly it is. Believe it or not, this may come as a dramatic revelation to you, but not every single person on this planet knows X86 assembler of any form. I am one of the lucky people who doesn't have his brain crambed full of the intracies of such a language. Instead I have my brain full of ARM assembler instead, which is a hell of a lot more readable than X86 assembler. Therefore, you quoting bits of X86 assembler to me is meaningless. -EAGAIN (try again) _____ |_____| ------------------------------------------------- ---+---+- | | Russell King rmk@arm.linux.org.uk --- --- | | | | http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html / / | | +-+-+ --- -+- / | THE developer of ARM Linux |+| /|\ / | | | --- | +-+-+ ------------------------------------------------- /\\\ | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
