Making p_stat an integer is something we might need to do as well as right now proc assumes that a 32-bit wordsize in its alighnment.

It needs to be in mi_switch() instead, but mroe on that later. >> On 10-Feb-01 Matthew Jacob wrote: >> > >> > the last set of changes were incomplete, yet again, for alpha... you've >> > removed the want_resched flag- but neglected to update swtch.s. >> > >> > It's pretty clear that while you're madly updating alpha, you're not even >> > *attempting* to do any kind of compilation, let alone testing.
