Ok. I removed it because I had intended it as an aid to me in adding support for newer processors (which is now a non-issue) but if you think it's useful anyway, I see no harm in adding it back. > Also, most systems based on newer > Pentium-M export the control info via acpi_perf so if acpi is active, we > use those settings for est. Right, with the key phrases being "most systems" and "if acpi is active". Apparently Intel doesn't consider systems with broken acpi or users who decide to disable acpi to be worthy of support. :-/ Colin Percival
