Nico, I encourage you *not* to back down like this. Linus is right in so far as the regressions issue, but he is *totally* wrong to do the revert, which IMHO has been done out of nothing more than spite. Either *with or without* the revert, the issue still remains, and needs to be addressed properly. With the revert in place, we now have insanely small bogomips values reported via /proc/cpuinfo when hardware timers are used. That needs fixing. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
