The new vmur driver still has some rough edges but we are getting there. Patch #10 is our solution to the atomic_t vs. volatile problem. As prediced by Linus adding a barrier to atomic_read/atomic_set has close to zero impact to the generated code and adding the barrier to atomic_read/atomic_set forces the compiler to read/write the value to/from memory. This seems to be the most convenient way to solve this problem. -- blue skies, Martin.
