Guess what's that going to solve? Nothing, nada. Really, you move the problem to people who are not prepared to deal with the wave either. So what's the gain? FYI, lots of the wreckage I observed regarding irq stuff was in drivers/* My statement stays the same. In whatever playground you try to shift that problem in it's not going to scale the way it is right now, Thanks, tglx -- 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/
