WARNING: I haven't directly tested this on the alpha, or on the ia64, although it has been running for the past week or so on x86. However, I did test to make sure that the atomic.h changes that make all this possible did compile fine on the alpha. Also, the code is MI, so in theory the architecture shouldn't matter. I'll be testing a remote alpha kernel build in the very near future, but this is just a heads up to watch your step on non-x86. :) -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
