A few comments about the patches that affect arch/x86: dmi_blacklist.patch: +#ifdef CONFIG_DMI_SCAN dmi_scan_machine(); +#endif put that #ifdef into the include file and make it an inlined NOP in the !DMI_SCAN case. That de-#ifdef-ifies the .c files. cpu-support.patch: ditto. mtrr.patch: ditto. inflate-error.patch: please use: quilt refresh --diffstat --sort --no-timestamps -p 1 when generating patches, to make them reviewable, uniform and noise-free. no-doublefault.patch: looks ok. Please add proper metadata and submit to lkml. sbf.patch: looks ok. sysenter.patch: +#ifdef CONFIG_SYSENTER sysenter_setup(); enable_sep_cpu(); +#endif hide these #ifdefs in the include file. (as it already does) Looks ok otherwise. threadinfo-ool.patch: doesnt this break the scheduler? Had something like this in -rt, i turned 'current' into a const actually, but had trouble with keeping from gcc to do the right thing in sched.c. I guess we could live with current_non_const() that gets it from assembly. (and hence gcc wont be able to optimize it away in the middle of the context-switch) But when done properly, this is both a nice, measurable speedup on UP, and a nice space-saver. tiny-cflags.patch: obsolete? Isnt CFLAGS already extendable? Question to Sam i guess. tsc.patch: look ok. needs x86.git porting. Ingo --
