Date: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 4:44 am

x86 CPU specific code is currently implemented in different ways for
64 and 32 bit. While there are almost no CPU specific files for 64
bit, there is the arch/x86/kernel/cpu/ directory for 32 bit. Is there
already an idea about whether to use kernel/cpu also for 64 bit?

Thanks,

-Robert
