That is, i386/x86_64 -> x86 was part of a full integration plan, one that was immediately followed up by a series of integration patches. With this, I see no such plan. Please draft this generic instrumentation you talk about, if after that we all like it, we can go moving files together with the immediate purpose of integrating them. - 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/
