If I were to take another stab at it, I would use that branch as reference and start from a clean tree. I'm fairly familiar with the implementation requirements and have gotten it working before; perhaps I'll take another stab at it soon. However, I'm fairly involved at school these days and so I don't know if I'll have the time and patience to deal with FreeBSD overhead at this very moment. However, if FreeBSD thinks that they are psychologically prepared to accept lightweight interrupt threads now so that if I *do* do the work, I won't have to deal with people who will be objecting to it then and there, then I will work hard to set time aside to do at the very least the bulk of the work. So please talk amongst yourselves and decide what you want and then let me know, as I have no time for 'involved' discussions of this magnitude right now (maybe you guys will decide to keep it a 6.0 feature?). -- Bosko Milekic * bmilekic@unixdaemons.com * bmilekic@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
